Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...Major Hurricane Beryl is brushing the southern coast
 of Jamaica, centered near 17.5N 77.6W at 5 PM EDT, moving west-
 northwest at 17 kt. Maximum sustained winds are 120 kt with
gusts  to 145 kt, and the minimum central pressure is 959 mb.
Beryl is  expected to maintain a W-NW motion across the
Caribbean and weaken slowly, moving inland over the Yucatan
Peninsula Fri morning near 19.5N 88.2W, and weakening to a
tropical storm. Beryl will then  move NW over the Gulf of Mexico
and strengthen to a hurricane over Sat through Sun evening.
Otherwise, central Atlantic high  pressure extends a weak ridge
southwestward to N Florida to  support gentle to moderate winds
and slight to moderate seas north of 25N, with moderate to fresh
trades and mainly moderate seas  south of 25N. Winds and seas
will be locally strong north of  Puerto Rico, Hispaniola and
into the Windward Passage through the  next several days as
Beryl moves through the Caribbean. A decaying cold front along
31N will sink south to 29N through early Thu,  then stall and
dissipate through Fri night. High pressure will  build westward
and into the Bahamas over the weekend.
