DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 200 AM AST (0600 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Beryl was
located near latitude 13.4 North, longitude 55.1 West.  Beryl is
moving toward the west-northwest near 18 mph (30 km/h) and this
motion with an increase in forward speed is expected during the next
couple of days.  On the forecast track, the center of Beryl will
approach the Lesser Antilles today, cross the island chain tonight,
and move south of the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico on Monday.

Maximum sustained winds are near 45 mph (75 km/h) with higher
gusts. Gradual weakening is forecast during the next 48 hours, and
Beryl is likely to weaken to a tropical depression after moving
across the Lesser Antilles.  The system is then expected to
degenerate into a tropical wave as it moves across the eastern and
central Caribbean Sea on Monday.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km)
from the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1005 mb (29.68 inches).


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

RAINFALL:  Beryl is expected to produce total rain accumulations of
1 to 3 inches through Monday across the southern Leeward and
northern Windward Islands.  Across Puerto Rico, rainfall amounts of
1 to 4 inches are expected.  Across the remainder of the Leeward
and Windward Islands and the Virgin Islands, rainfall amounts of
1 to 2 inches are expected, with locally higher amounts possible.
