Tropical Cyclone Activity Report – Atlantic / Caribbean / Gulf of Mexico

The tropical characteristics of tropical depression Beryl will be fading soon, as this 2nd early tropical cyclone of the season moves quickly northeast.  The NHC forecast is calling for Beryl to move back out over the Atlantic Ocean later today, passing over the Gulf Stream waters…picking up strength in the process.  This will allow tropical depression Beryl to gain tropical storm force wind speeds, although be called a post-tropical cyclone over the next several days.

The primary influence while Beryl remains over land a while longer, will be the heavy rainfall amounts that effect North Carolina, and extreme Southeast Virginia today. There are forecast to be 2-4 inch amounts, with some maximum totals reaching closer to 6 inches locally.  Meanwhile, near tropical storm force wind gusts will occur along the coast today locally, until Beryl moves away from land tonight into Thursday.
