"Subtropical Storm Beryl formed off the South Carolina coast on Friday and forecasters at the U.S. National Hurricane Center issued a tropical storm warning for parts of the Southeastern U.S. coast.

Beryl had top sustained winds of 45 miles per hour and was in the Atlantic about 305 miles east of Charleston, South Carolina, the Miami-based center said."

"A tropical storm warning was issued for an area stretching from northeast Florida to South Carolina. The warning means that tropical storm conditions are expected within the area over the next 36 hours.

Beryl was moving north but expected to veer west-southwest or southwest on Saturday, the hurricane center said. The storm's center is expected to be near or over the Southeastern U.S. coast on Sunday, it said."

2. No!! What about Bud?

We already have a B storm; this needs to be named Cathy or something. Is there some kind of miscommunication among the hurricane namers?

3. Bud is in the Eastern Pacific

Beryl is in the Atlantic. There are two sets of names for these two regions (as well as the West Pacific, etc)
