Storm Beryl Wasn’t Much Help for Southeast Drought

Tropical Depression Beryl’s soaking rains were swallowed up by parched soil in Florida and Georgia and won’t be enough to relieve drought conditions, state climatologists said.
Beryl, 40 miles (64 kilometers) west of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, with winds of 40 mph, degenerated into a post-tropical cyclone as of 5 p.m. local time today, the National Hurricane Center said in its last advisory on the system. Beryl was moving northeast up the North Carolina coast and will be back in the Atlantic by tomorrow.
