Just after 9 pm CDT, Tropical Storm Beryl was edging onto the Northeast Florida coast just east-southeast of Jacksonsville, FL. The Jacksonville NWS radar showed the western edge of the storm moving ashore in the vicinity of the communities of Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, Jacksonville Beach, Palm Valley, and Sawgrass.
