Tropical Storm Beryl is expected to make Memorial Day complicated for many residents of the southeast, expecting, according to the National Weather Service’s National Hurricane Center in Florida, to possibly make landfall late May 27 or early May 28. Officials in Georgia and Florida, according to a report from the Associated Press, are preparing for heavy rainfall and strong winds.

Florida’s governor Rick Scott has asked residents to remain aware and alert as the storm approaches. The storm, according to the Hurricane Center’s 8pm ET report, has winds of 70 miles an hour, and is moving west at 10 miles an hour.
