ATL: BERYL - Post-Tropical

[Nimbus]

There has been an ULL to the west of Beryl and another area of low pressure to the north that filled. The TUT over PR is starting to lift out at least temporarily.

Climo for this time of year suggests shear in the Caribbean would blow a weak system apart.
But if Beryl does strengthen a little more than expected in the low shear window it might build enough ridging to ward off the shear.

[Frank2]

Looks more like a depression the past few hours - much less organized than 12 hours ago:

BULLETIN
Hurricane Beryl Intermediate Advisory Number 6A
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL022018
800 PM AST Fri Jul 06 2018

...BERYL CONTINUING WESTWARD ACROSS THE TROPICAL ATLANTIC...


SUMMARY OF 800 PM AST...0000 UTC...INFORMATION
----------------------------------------------
LOCATION...10.6N 48.3W
ABOUT 925 MI...1490 KM ESE OF THE LESSER ANTILLES
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...80 MPH...130 KM/H
PRESENT MOVEMENT...W OR 270 DEGREES AT 15 MPH...24 KM/H
MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...994 MB...29.36 INCHES


WATCHES AND WARNINGS
--------------------
CHANGES WITH THIS ADVISORY:

None.

SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT:

A Hurricane Watch is in effect for...
* Dominica

A Tropical Storm Watch is in effect for...
* Martinique
* Guadeloupe
* St. Martin
* St. Barthelemy

A Hurricane Watch means that hurricane conditions are possible
within the watch area.

A Tropical Storm Watch means that tropical storm conditions are
possible within the watch area.

Interests elsewhere in the Lesser Antilles should monitor the
progress of Beryl, as additional watches could be required for other
islands later tonight or early Saturday.


DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 800 PM AST (0000 UTC), the center of Hurricane Beryl was located
near latitude 10.6 North, longitude 48.3 West. Beryl is moving
toward the west near 15 mph (24 km/h). A faster westward to
west-northwestward motion is expected to begin over the weekend and
continue through early next week. On the forecast track, the center
of Beryl will approach the Lesser Antilles over the weekend and
cross the island chain late Sunday or Monday.

Maximum sustained winds are near 80 mph (130 km/h) with higher
gusts. Some strengthening is forecast during the next couple of
days, and Beryl could still be a hurricane when it reaches the
Lesser Antilles late Sunday or Monday. Weakening is expected once
Beryl reaches the eastern Caribbean Sea on Monday, but the system
may not degenerate into an open trough until it reaches the vicinity
of Hispaniola and the central Caribbean Sea.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 10 miles (20 km) from
the center, and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to
35 miles (55 km).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 994 mb (29.36 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND: Tropical storm or hurricane conditions are possible within
the watch areas by late Sunday or Monday.


NEXT ADVISORY

Next complete advisory at 1100 PM AST.

Same as last night very dry except near that vigorous core circulation.

[Aric Dunn]

that NE shear is doing some weird stuff the convective pattern

[Siker]

that NE shear is doing some weird stuff the convective pattern

Lol, it looks like the core convection is rotating clockwise.

[Nimbus]

that NE shear is doing some weird stuff the convective pattern

Lol, it looks like the core convection is rotating clockwise.

That is an illusion like plane propellers rotating backwards because they are out of synch with the frame rate.

[404UserNotFound]

that NE shear is doing some weird stuff the convective pattern

Lol, it looks like the core convection is rotating clockwise.

That is an illusion like plane propellers rotating backwards because they are out of synch with the frame rate.

Not only can propellers appear to move backward, they can also appear to disconnect and reconnect.

[TheStormExpert]

At this point I’d bet on a recurve over it affecting the SE U.S. But first it needs to start gaining some latitude or it’ll run into South America or be just a Caribbean cruiser.

[wxman57]

Got a recent microwave hit. No evidence of an eye at all. Limited convection. Doubt it's still a hurricane. Small storms can strengthen AND weaken very quickly.

[Hammy]

Got a recent microwave hit. No evidence of an eye at all. Limited convection. Doubt it's still a hurricane. Small storms can strengthen AND weaken very quickly.

What are your thoughts on future intensity? NHC keeps it a hurricane through the islands but I'm thinking this is the start of a longer term weakening trend as it's approaching the edge of the moisture envelope.

[floridasun78]

why models having issue with shear was suppose strong by sat? because 96l ? now td 36

[Aric Dunn]

Still easterly shear.. nothing will happen unless that stops of course.

[slamdaddy]

Don't see any significant shear on the latest CIMSS...maybe 10kts, not sure.

That is as of 0000Z
