ATL: BERYL - Post-Tropical

[GCANE]

The faster than expected spin up could likely mean a bend more to the north than current forecast track.
If it hangs thru the ULL interaction, could see a Bahamas TC.
Time to get down with some serious model homework,

I think the most impressive part about Beryl's formation and intensification is that SSTs are running between 25–26 C. An impressive little TC in the MDR:

[LarryWx]

Will this be still another Beryl that isn't retired? Beryl goes back to 1982 and this is the 7th one.

[BatzVI]

This is interesting, back in 1995 when we got hit with Marilyn in the USVI (St. Thomas), Bertha followed, on July 9th of 1996. Marilyn was the last serious hurricane to hit the USVI prior to Irma and Maria last year, and it is rather ironic that we have the "B" storm following in July and will most likely be in this area on July 9th. Can we please catch a break??? Puerto Rico isn't the only island suffering to recover from last year.

Time to get down with some serious model homework,

this is going well south of the guidance. Storms on the leading edge of SAL outbreak always end up south of guidance

[Aric Dunn]

depending on which SST map you look at. temps are 26 to 27c or 25 to 26c.

[tolakram]

It really seems like the NHC has been dropping the ball on this one. Likely has been a TC since yesterday, and now it seems the current wind estimate at 40mph is far too low.

There is no evidence this is true and I do not agree they have dropped the ball. Let's ALL share opinions on Beryl but leave unnecessary comments about the NHC out of it please.

When this gets closer to the islands there will be recon if needed, otherwise any intensity changes can be done in post analysis since it's not threatening anyone at the moment, in my opinion.

[galaxy401]

Well, Beryl does prove that the MDR won't be dead the entire time like some forecasts implied, even in July there can always be a surprise.

convection is deeper in all quads around the eye on new microwave pass from an hour ago..

[Yellow Evan]

Yea this likely a microcane, based on hints of an eye formation in the latest frames. The kind of storm Dvorak underestimates big time.

[txwatcher91]

It really seems like the NHC has been dropping the ball on this one. Likely has been a TC since yesterday, and now it seems the current wind estimate at 40mph is far too low.

There is no evidence this is true and I do not agree they have dropped the ball. Let's ALL share opinions on Beryl but leave unnecessary comments about the NHC out of it please.

When this gets closer to the islands there will be recon if needed, otherwise any intensity changes can be done in post analysis since it's not threatening anyone at the moment, in my opinion.

I'm curious what their reasoning for a conservative estimate is. The overall structure is certainly indicative of a 60-70mph TS trying to become a hurricane. It's possible they don't want to cause panic in the islands especially if this goes poof in a few days once it hits the wall of shear. After last season I'm sure everyone in the islands is watching this system very closely.

[Gustywind]

Increasing numbers for TS Beryl 3.0/3.0 meaning sustained winds estimations close to 45 kts given that Dvorak scale.

A completed eyewall, definitely a hurricane.

Thats a hurricane for sure! A tiny one.


You could drive through that thing in 20 minutes.

Oh no, that comment was never meant in any sort of malicious way towards the NHC. I have a MASSIVE amount of respect for them and everything they do. I was just pointing out that the NHC has been (in my opinion) overly conservative with this system from the get-go. Apologies if it came off the wrong way.

[Hypercane_Kyle]

100% agree with the comments above, this is making a run at hurricane status today.

[CrazyC83]

Given that this storm is nowhere near land, the NHC can afford to be conservative and wait to upgrade. They can always change everything in post-analysis.

It's not like they have to play catch-up fast knowing they have to put warnings out...
