Now a Tropical Depression, Beryl Still Dropping Rain on Central Florida

May 28, 2012 | WMFE - The tropical depression once known as Beryl is losing strength as it churns over land at the Florida/Georgia border. However, it's still stirring up the atmosphere across Central Florida.

As of 5:00pm Monday, the National Hurricane Center in Miami says the system is packing maximum sustained winds of about 30 miles per hour with higher gusts. The center of the storm is about 10 miles east of Valdosta, Georgia, moving north-northwest at five miles per hour.

It’s expected to turn to the northeast, moving over southern Georgia and South Carolina before heading back out into the Atlantic by mid-week.

Beryl made landfall just south of Jacksonville as a tropical storm around midnight Monday, knocking out power to about 20,000 people in the area.

The system is expected to continue bringing fast-moving showers and thunderstorms over Central Florida throughout Monday evening and into Tuesday, possibly through Wednesday.

Strong rip currents and rough surf conditions are expected to remain along the coast.

90.7 and WMFE will continue monitoring this storm. Please check back for more updates.
