TROPICAL STORM BERYL INTERMEDIATE INFORMATION STATEMENT ISSUED
BY THE CANADIAN HURRICANE CENTRE OF ENVIRONMENT CANADA AT
12.00 NOON ADT FRIDAY 21 JULY 2006.

THE NEXT STATEMENT WILL BE ISSUED BY 3.00 PM ADT

...BERYL NOW POST-TROPICAL..

AT NOON ADT... POST-TROPICAL STORM BERYL WAS LOCATED NEAR LATITUDE
43.0 N AND LONGITUDE 67.0 W... ABOUT 60 NAUTICAL MILES OR 115 KM 
SOUTHWEST OF YARMOUTH. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT
40 KNOTS... 74 KM/H... AND CENTRAL PRESSURE AT 1001 MB. BERYL IS
MOVING EAST NORTHEAST AT 25 KNOTS... 46 KM/H.

THE ATLANTIC STORM PREDICTION CENTRE HAS EXTENDED RAINFALL
WARNINGS TO ALL OF WESTERN NOVA SCOTIA AND MUCH OF SOUTHERN
NEW BRUNSWICK.

IT IS STILL DIFFICULT TO PINPOINT THE EXACT CENTRE OF BERYL..AND
THAT LOCATION HAS MAJOR IMPLICATIONS ON THE TRACK. IT STILL LOOKS 
LIKE THE CENTRE IS LOCATED JUST SOUTHWEST OF THE DEEP CONVECTION
AND THIS MOTION WOULD BRING POST-TROPICAL BERYL OVER THE SOUTHERN
TIP OF NOVA SCOTIA THIS AFTERNOON. WE MUST STRESS THAT THERE IS 
UNCERTAINTY ON THIS INITIAL POSITION.

AS FAR AS SURFACE DATA IS CONCERNED..BUOYS SOUTHWEST OF NOVA
SCOTIA AND IN THE GULF OF MAINE HAVE YET TO REPORT GALES AS BERYL 
APPROACHES THE BROWNS BANK MARINE AREA. WINDS OVER THE EXTREME 
SOUTHERN TIP OF NOVA SCOTIA ARE NOW GUSTING IN THE 40 TO 50 KM/H 
RANGE.

MOISTURE EXTENDING WELL NORTH OF BERYL IS ALREADY CONTRIBUTING..
AT LEAST IN PART..TO PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN OVER SOUTHERN NEW
BRUNSWICK..NOTABLY WITH FREDERICTON REPORTING 45 MM IN 2 HOURS. 
YARMOUTH IS ALSO REPORTING 30 MM AS OF NOON.
