Beryl Lives

Hmmm, I almost forgot it was hurricane season. I was kind of hoping, for the sake of those negatively effected by the storms, that the creation of this blog had cursed this season into being a dud. No such luck. Anyway, Beryl is now a tropical storm with 60 mph winds and a minimum central pressure of 1002 mb centered well off the coast of Virginia. Most of the computer models have Beryl effecting Massachusetts in some way by Friday morning. The good news is that the models that show Beryl having a greater effect on land also have the storm weakening more by the time it does so. Hopefully, most of the northeast has recovered from earlier flooding and will welcome the rain as a respite from the current heat wave. Everyone from New Jersey to Maine should keep an eye on this system for now.
