The National Hurricane Center in Miami has issued a tropical storm warning for residents living in Volusia County.
Subtropical Storm Beryl, the second named storm of the 2012 Atlantic hurricane season, is moving west-southwest toward the southeastern coast of the United States at about 6 mph, a speed the Hurricane Center expects to increase through Sunday.
At 11 p.m. Saturday, Beryl's center was located near 30.8 degrees north latitude and 77.2 degrees west longitude, or about 300 miles east-northeast of Jacksonville. The storm is expected to turn west Sunday night, with its center nearing the warning area later that evening. Its current sustained winds are about 50 mph.
Residents of northeastern Florida should expect Beryl to produce mostly wind gusts and up to 2 to 4 inches of rainfall.
Tropical storm force winds are expected to begin across Volusia County and north of Orlando by Sunday afternoon.
The Hurricane Center will release its next advisory at midnight Sunday.
A high risk of rip currents is expected along the northeast Florida coast from Nassau through Flagler counties. A moderate risk of rip currents is also expected along the east central Florida coast from Volusia through Martin counties.
Conditions are expected to be present through Monday. Beach goers should remember to remain alert when red flags are flying.
?In addition to the potential for dangerous rip currents, high waves up to 4 to 6 feet could cause moderate beach erosion and minor coastal flooding,? said State Meteorologist Amy Godsey. ?Beachgoers should remember to review the rip current outlook for their area, check the warning flag signs before entering the water and swim within sight of a lifeguard.??
Tropical storm warnings are in effect from the Volusia and Brevard County line through South Carolina. The National Weather Service in Jacksonville has issued a tropical storm watch for Baker, Bradford, Clay, Union, and Putnam Counties.
Beryl is projected to move west-southwest into Northeast Florida or southern Georgia Sunday night through Monday night, briefly stalling, then turning northeast towards South Carolina ahead of an approaching cold front. As it moves inland, it is expected to decrease in intensity into a tropical or subtropical depression.
