The cloud cover and moisture is going to keep our daytime temperatures down and the nighttime temperatures up for a couple of days. It's not very good!

I've always heard it as a woman's name -- and it rhymes with "peril." Like "Meryl."

y - how do you pronounce Beryl? There was a bit of confusion at the hurricane center as to whether Beryl rhymed with earl or peril. They finally decided on the latter.
