In the South, Tropical Depression Beryl is currently centered inland near Valdosta, Georgia, drifting toward the north. Beryl moved inland as a tropical storm just after midnight on Memorial Day, May 28, near Jacksonville Beach, Florida. Beryl continues to produce drought-easing rainfall, especially in southeastern Georgia and northern Florida. Elsewhere, thunderstorms are producing beneficial rainfall in parts of the Mid-South.
Outlook: The remnants Beryl will begin to accelerate toward the northeast later today. Beryl may once again become a tropical storm on Wednesday after crossing the coastal Carolinas and reaching the western Atlantic Ocean. Additional rainfall associated with Beryl could exceed 4 inches near the southern Atlantic Coast. Meanwhile, a cold front will move into the East, quickly followed by a second front during the mid- to late-week period. Combined, the two fronts will produce as much as 1 to 2 inches of rain, with locally higher amounts, from the Plains into the Midwest and Northeast. Elsewhere, dry weather will prevail through week’s end from California into the Southwest, while late-week heat will begin to build across the West. The NWS 6- to 10-day outlook for June 3-7 calls for near- to above-normal temperatures nationwide, except for cooler-than-normal conditions in the Northeastand along the Pacific Coast. Meanwhile, near- to below-normal rainfall across the majority of the U.S. will contrast with wetter-than-normal weather in New England, southern Florida, and the Northwest.
