WATCHES AND WARNINGS
--------------------
CHANGES WITH THIS ADVISORY:
The Government of Barbados has replaced the Tropical Storm Warning
for Dominica with a Tropical Storm Watch.
The other respective governments of the Caribbean area have
discontinued the Tropical Storm Warning for Guadeloupe, and have
discontinued the Tropical Storm Watch for Martinique, St. Martin,
St. Barthelemy, Saba, St. Maarten, and St. Eustatius.
SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT:
A Tropical Storm Watch is in effect for...
* Dominica
A Tropical Storm Watch means that tropical storm conditions are
possible within the watch area, in this case, within the next 12
hours.
Interests elsewhere in the Leeward Islands, the Virgin Islands,
Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic should monitor the progress
of the remnants of Beryl.
For storm information specific to your area, please monitor
products issued by your national meteorological service.
DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 500 PM AST (2100 UTC), the remnants of Beryl were located near
latitude 15.2 North, longitude 60.3 West. The remnants are moving
toward the west-northwest near 26 mph (42 km/h), and this general
motion is expected to continue into Monday. On the forecast track,
the remnants of Beryl will move across the Leeward Islands, and move
near or south of the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico on Monday.
Maximum sustained winds are near 45 mph (75 km/h) with higher gusts.
Slight weakening is anticipated during the next 24 hours.
However, environmental conditions are expected to become somewhat
conducive for regeneration of a tropical cyclone in a few days
when the remnants of Beryl are forecast to move across the Bahamas
and the western Atlantic.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...30 percent
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km),
mainly to the north and northeast of the center.
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1007 mb (29.74 inches).
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND: Tropical storm conditions are possible in Dominica and
Guadeloupe tonight. Strong gusty winds are also possible elsewhere
across the Leeward Islands tonight, and in the Virgin Islands and
Puerto Rico on Monday.
RAINFALL: Beryl is expected to produce storm total rain
accumulations of 2 to 3 inches through Tuesday across the Leeward
and the Virgin Islands, as well as Puerto Rico. Local amounts up
to 5 inches are possible.
NEXT ADVISORY

Next intermediate advisory at 800 PM AST.
Next complete advisory at 1100 PM AST.

Beryl continues to move at a fast forward speed of 26 mph.
Tropical cyclones moving this fast produce their own wind
shear over the cloud structure and this warms the clouds.
Conditions are not much better over the east Caribbean
so this could be the downfall to Beryl's existence. I will
keep watching it regardless of strengthening or not...RTW

WATCHES AND WARNINGS
--------------------
There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect.
Interests along the coast of North Carolina should monitor the
progress of this system.
DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 500 PM EDT (2100 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Chris was
located near latitude 32.7 North, longitude 74.6 West. Chris has
barely moved since yesterday, and no significant motion is expected
during the next 2 to 3 days.
Data from an Air Force reconnaissance plane indicate that the
maximum sustained winds have increased to near 50 mph (85 km/h) with
higher gusts. Chris is forecast to become a hurricane on Monday
and additional strengthening thereafter.

from the center.
The estimated minimum central pressure from a reconnaissance
aircraft is 1008 mb (29.77 inches).
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF: Swells generated by Chris are expected to increase and affect
portions of the coasts of North Carolina and the mid-Atlantic states
into early next week. These swells could cause life-threatening
surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your
local weather office.
NEXT ADVISORY

Next complete advisory at 1100 PM EDT.

Chris continues meandering due to weak steering currents at this time.
Chris will begins a track toward the north-northeast in the coming days and
at that time will begin a strengthening trend. Storms that sit in the same
area tend to up well cooler waters from the deep, and this inhibits rapid
strengthening...RTW
