From off the Mid-Atlantic Coast, Tropical Storm Beryl (sustained winds of 50 mph) will zip past Cape Cod and Nantucket early Friday in its way to just south of Nova Scotia later in the day. Beryl is finally getting caught up in the mid-latitude westerlies. Most of the thunderstorms have died out in Beryl's circulation, decreasing the potential for any heavy rain. Also, the winds will be less than tropical storm strength or minimal tropical storm strength in most areas. A tropical storm watch is in effect from New Haven, Conn., to Woods Hole, Mass., and from eastern Long Island east of Fire Island and Fort Jefferson. Tropical storm warnings continue for southeastern Massachusetts from Plymouth to Woods Hole, including Cape Cod, Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard. Waves could still be in the 10-to-15-foot range for Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard and Cape Cod. Any effects from Beryl will end for southeast New England by mid-to-late Friday morning.
