DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 200 PM AST (1800 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Beryl was
located near latitude 12.4 North, longitude 51.9 West.  Beryl is
moving faster toward the west-northwest near 16 mph (26 km/h).  A
west-northwestward motion with an additional increase in forward
speed is expected during the next few days.  On the forecast track,
the center of Beryl will approach the Lesser Antilles over the
weekend, cross the island chain late Sunday or Monday, and move
south of the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico on Monday and Monday
night.

Maximum sustained winds are estimated to be near 60 mph (95 km/h)
with higher gusts.  Additional weakening is forecast during the next
48 hours, especially once Beryl reaches the eastern Caribbean Sea on
Monday.  The system could degenerate into an open trough by the time
it reaches the central Caribbean Sea and Hispaniola on Tuesday.

Beryl is a small tropical storm.  Tropical-storm-force winds extend
outward up to 35 miles (55 km) from the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1001 mb (29.56 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND:  Tropical storm conditions are expected in Dominica by Sunday
night.  Tropical storm conditions are possible in the watch areas
of the Lesser Antilles by late Sunday or Monday.

RAINFALL:  Beryl is expected to produce total rain accumulations of
2 to 4 inches through Monday across the southern Leeward and
northern Windward Islands.  Across the remainder of the Leeward and
Windward Islands, the Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico, rainfall
amounts of 1 to 2 inches with locally higher amounts are expected.
