We’re still keeping an eye on the remnants of Beryl, now east of the northwestern Bahamas. There is no sign of redevelopment right now, but the National Hurricane Center gives what’s left of Beryl a medium chance of becoming a tropical storm during the next few days as it moves to the northeast, away from the U.S. coast.
