— At 5 a.m. EDT, the center of Tropical Storm Beryl was located near latitude 41.7 north and longitude 69.7 west or about 35 miles (55 km) northeast of Nantucket and about 365 miles (590 km) west-southwest of Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Beryl is moving toward the northeast near 21 mph (33 km/hr) and this motion is expected to continue with an increase in forward speed today. This motion could bring the center of Beryl near or over Nova Scotia tonight or Saturday. Storm total rainfalls of 1 to 2 inches are possible in Nova Scotia in association with Beryl. Maximum sustained winds are near 50 mph (85 km/hr) with higher gusts. Slow weakening is forecast as beryl loses tropical characteristics during the next 24 hours. Tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 85 miles (140 km) from the center. The minimum central pressure reported by both an air force reserve hurricane hunter aircraft and Nantucket island is 1001 millibars. Beryl’s Effect on Nantucket Island, Mass. — Beryl broug
