lol.. NHC is bending the rule.. "Could have" reformed.

Oh yeah I get that

The name at the bottom of the NHC advisory is a clue. Stacey Stewart is the most liberal of the NHC forecasters (not in a political sense). The question comes down to what best serves the general public. Again, if it's impossible to alert the islanders about possible tropical storm-force winds in squalls without having a named storm approaching, then what happens when the next strong wave approaches? Call it a TS because it might generate a circulation? Surely forecasters there can just tell the people to watch for gusty wind and heavy rain in a passing tropical wave without it having a name.

This kind of thing makes it hard on private weather companies why typically deal with more weather-savvy emergency managers and refinery operators. To some, something called a tropical storm could strengthen into a hurricane, necessitating a very costly shutdown. We have to explain to them that it's not REALLY a tropical storm but it could produce tropical storm-force winds as it moves past.

So what rules are we talking about that apply to the NHC?

You know how I dislike these man made rules that don't really serve the public that well.

[NotSparta]

I wonder if they can use the PTC designation here, since it may not be a TC, but warnings need to be issued

Do warnings need to be issued? Many strong tropical waves impact the islands each season with some winds to tropical storm strength in squalls (but no circulation). How are those waves handled without NHC advisories? I'm still doubtful that the NHC will downgrade Beryl just because it lost its circulation.

Sorry, worded it badly. The NHC seems to want to issue warnings here, but there's a possibility Beryl isn't a TC. Thus the PTC designation would work well in this case

[AtlanticWind]

I think they did the right thing, If a possible new circulation exists and they've
still have warnings up there is no reason to downgrade it at the moment.

It avoids confusion,and really does not matter to anybody but weather weanies like us

I have been doing this for a long time. I have stated this on several occasions on this forum and I feel the need to do it again to say this about the NHC.

I have tremendous respect and admiration for the job the experts perform and execute down at the National Hurricane Center. It is an awesome duty and challenge forecasting tropical cyclones, which I know firsthand. Now, although I disagree with their decisions at times, like this one with Beryl, I recognize that their number one objective is awareness and safety to the public.

Again, I give major kudos to the hard working experts down at NHC. They are the very best at what they do!

Looks like mid-level shear is settling down some just before the islands.

do look like their circulation under area strong storm if look at loop on link https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/sat/images/goes16_ir_02L_201807081606.jpg?14.1303.1

The GFS and NAVGEM both now also redevelop, but the ECMWF no longer does.

Historically Beryl has been a frequently sheared sheep running naked most of the time, hasn't quite run out from under the convection today which does break the pattern. TS winds may not extend 20 miles from the center if at all so there is even a chance the LLC will pass south of just one Island close enough to report those gusts. Forecast is for ex Beryl to be just a rack of Lamb in the Caribbean.

i reading we coluld see other system form beryl next few days east of bahamas

[syryquil]

And I forgot to check before but UKMet also redevelops.

[northjaxpro]

EURO has performed poorly overall with Beryl and also the formation of Chris.

Right now, it looks like a large and mean looking open wave. Gonna be very strong t-storms moving through the islands. Gonna have that “rush effect” associated with a quick moving oncoming system. May have a larger scale and scope with trop winds than you would if you had your standard 45-50 mph organized trop storm. So they leave the trop storm designation. Gonna be bad weather in islands from this open wave.

the circ is very evident right now as it is exposed. .. and looking over recon earlier they were flying in the area.

:uarrow: Yes indeed. I was just getting ready to state this myself. Rightfully and correctly designated this system as an open wave. Still no definitive closed circulation verified.
