"Hurricane Center Issues Tropical Storm Watch for Massachusetts
July 19 (Bloomberg) -- The National Hurricane Center issued a tropical storm watch for parts of southeastern Massachusetts, including the vacation spots of Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket Island, as Tropical Storm Beryl moves north.
``It's going to probably come close enough that there's certainly the possibility of tropical storm conditions,'' James Franklin, senior hurricane specialist at the Miami-based National Hurricane Center, said in an interview. ``That's all a watch means, that there's a possibility. It's going to be a close enough call that the watch is prudent.''
Beryl, the second named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season, was centered about 135 miles (220 kilometers) northeast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, and 390 miles south-southwest of Nantucket, Massachusetts, as of 5 p.m. Miami time, the hurricane center said in a statement. It had sustained winds of 60 miles per hour (95 kilometers per hour). "
