Looks like the center may just pass to the south of them. Probably nothing more than TS force wind gusts and some torrential rain for a few hours or so.

Gust to 41 mph at 1:14 at this station on Nantucket:

Gusts like that are fun to watch. It's fun to watch wind gusts in this range. When it gets higher it isn't fun anymore.

They are now reporting a pressure of 1004mb. So the center might be getting very close or moving right over them.

They are just lucky this storm weakened some before impacting them. The difference between a 50mph storm and a 60-70mph storm is like the difference between a "typical" thunderstorm and a severe one.

Pressure now 1002MB! Recon found 1004?

StormsAhead · #16 Postby **StormsAhead** » Fri Jul 21, 2006 1:58 am

1000.7mb on Nantucket! 8 mph S wind so the center should be very close.

StormsAhead · #17 Postby **StormsAhead** » Fri Jul 21, 2006 2:00 am

Latest VDM has 1001mb...a 3-mb drop in about 2 hours. The center is in Nantucket Sound...so Beryl already passed over the western tip of the island.

So a landfall?
