It tracked southeastward into the coastal waters of eastern Louisiana, and Beryl reached peak winds of 50 mph (80 km/h) while located about 75 miles (121 km) southeast of New Orleans.

The remnants of Beryl continued northward into the central United States, dropping some rainfall and providing relief to a severe heat wave.

Due to its slow motion, Beryl dropped heavy amounts of rainfall, peaking at 16.09 inches (409 mm) on Dauphin Island in Alabama.

Under weak steering currents, the trough drifted westward, and slowly became better defined with the formation of a circulation in the mid- through upper-levels of the atmosphere.

Based on ship reports and observations from oil rigs, it is estimated the depression intensified into Tropical Storm Beryl at 1000 UTC on August 8 while located just offshore coastal Louisiana.

It turned to the northwest, and the surface circulation dissipated on August 10 while located a short distance south of Shreveport, Louisiana.

[3] The surface low pressure area crossed into north Texas before dissipating early on August 12, while its upper-level circulation turned northward into Oklahoma before being merged by an approaching trough.

[8] Rainfall from the storm reached over 7 inches (180 mm) a short distance east of Pensacola, Florida, though impact in the state was minor.

[6] The remnants of Beryl produced locally heavy precipitation peaking at about 12 inches (300 mm) in east-central Texas,[9] resulting in some reports of flash flooding.

[4] Further inland, the remnants of Beryl cooled temperatures and provided relief to the severe heat wave in the central United States.
