Beryl About to Move Inland

Tropical Storm Beryl is about to make landfall near Jacksonville at this hour.

Top winds are 70 mph, but the system will slowly lose strength over the next 24 hours, weakening to a tropical depression by Monday evening.

Winds recently gusted to 68 mph near Jacksonville Beach.

The central pressure is 993 mb.

Beryl will bring heavy rain to South Carolina, southern Georgia and Northeast Florida.  Rain totals may push 4-8 inches in spots.

There could be a couple of tornadoes overnight to the east of the track.

Surge will be 2-4 feet near and right of landfall. Rip currents will be a problem northward to North Carolina.

Some of the storms around the periphery of Beryl will work into Southeast Alabama tomorrow, but will stay well south of Central Alabama.

The  trough that will bring storms to Alabama Tuesday will turn Beryl to the northeast and it will exit back into the Atlantic late Tuesday.
