5/27 2 P.M. UPDATE: NOAA Storm Tracker: Stronger Tropical Storm Beryl To Hit Florida Memorial Day
Sub-Tropical Storm Beryl has maximum sustained winds of 45 m.p.h. and is located 240 miles east-southeast of Charleston, South Carolina. Sub-Tropical Storm Beryl is moving west-southwest at 5 miles per hour and is forecasted to make landfall near Jacksonville, Florida early Monday morning.
A tropical storm warning is
in effect from the Brevard County - Volusia County line northward to
Edisto Beach, South Carolina during the 2012 Memorial Day Weekend as the
system moves
closer to a landfall on the Southeastern U.S. coast.
A tropical storm watch is in effect from Edisto Beach, South Carolina northward to South Santee River, South Carolina.
Sub-Tropical Storm Beryl will produce high seas off the
Florida, Georgia, South and North Carolina Atlantic Ocean coasts which is bad news for boaters where
Memorial Day weekend is traditionally a busy day for recreational
boating and fishing.
Sub Tropical Storm Beryl could also produce
dangerous rip currents for the 2012 Memorial Day weekend beach goers along the
Space Coast and east coast Florida and Georgia beaches.
Surfers on the other hand, welcome the possibility of large ocean swell development.
Elsewhere in the Atlantic Ocean, tropical cyclone formation is not expected during the next 48 hours:
