MIDWAY, Fla. (WTXL) -- Hurricane Beryl remains a very small but intensifying system about 1,000 miles east of the Lesser Antilles.

A persistent low-pressure swirl a few hundred miles southeast of the Carolina coast line lingers over a flow of warmer Atlantic Ocean waters, with lighter upper-level wind pattern in place.  Some further organization is likely over the next 48 hours which can allow the low to become a tropical depression. Movement will be somewhat erratic until a cold front pushes off the Eastern Seaboard, forcing the low out into the open ocean early next week.
