ATL: BERYL - Post-Tropical

[cycloneye]

[gatorcane]

A couple of the latest (18Z) GFS ensembles revive this once past the TUTT in the vicinity of the Bahamas and the GFS operational does keep the 850mb vorticity around longer before dissipating than previous runs. We'll have to watch if future runs trend more in this direction or back off.

Here is the day 5 forecast from the 18Z GFS showing a bit more vorticity in the vicinity of Puerto Rico than the previous 12Z run:

Looks like a tropical storm if it can close off, and it certainly looks closed at cloud level given the low cloud motion.

ASCAT begs to differ despite SAB numbers of T2.5.

I realize the ASCAT is inconclusive. However, to definitively state it is proof that a circulation does not exist is not fair either. As we all know ASCAT has a low wind bias AND this system is tracking westward pretty quickly... In my opinion at least 20 mph. And the circulation is pretty small. Which is subject to large errors from satellite derived winds. I will agree that as result of this image there is nothing conclusive to result in classification of a tropical depression. But it DEFINITELY does not rule it out.
I personally believe it is quite likely a surface circulation does exist, but the system is weak at the surface and the impressive turning is mostly 700 mb to 850 mb level at the moment.

Is this a band?

[djones65]

I just looked closely at another satellite loop of 95l. From Tropical Tidbits site. Perhaps this system is only a midlevel circulation. If you watch and it is time-sensitive, there appears to be another low level circulation trailing east southeast of the main mid level circulation by about 90 miles. I see a low level circulation near 9.6N and 36.9W whereas the convective circulation appears 10.5N and 38.6W. Does anyone else see what I am seeing? So, once again, perhaps the NHC had this right??? Otherwise what is the trailing low level turning I am seeing? And it makes sense since 95L is likely experiencing some east southeasterly shear...

It's moving pretty fast, we've seen this before ... where a circulation can't close off due to rapid west movement.

Bret of 2017 comes to my memory that didn't last long.

dont think this will hit land like bret did though

[Aric Dunn]

THe odd thing i have been watching is the vort or other circ that is just to the SE of the convection a little way...

[Aric Dunn]

By the way the last couple hours or so has gone away from pulsating convection to an area that has maintained continuously redeveloping in the same location. that is typically a sure sign of a TC and low level convergence. if that continues the pressures will fall and any doubt about a closed circ from forward motion will be gone.

[NotSparta]

reminds me of those MCSs over the CONUS that have continuously firing convection

Except for a different mechanism in the case of a TC.

[Aric Dunn]

convective pattern is improving every frame. very deep convection maintaining and expanding. should see TD at 5am. possible TS with some wind barbs at TS strength.

[AJC3]

Quick reminder...please keep any critiques of how the system is being handled respectful, professional, and, perhaps a little less...shall we say...emotional. Thanks.

[Hammy]

Upgrade looking unlikely at 5am given the convection starting to decline, the circulation doesn't appear any better established than earlier (when it was not fully closed) and there is usually some sort of announcement (at least last year) a half hour or so before that they're going to start advisories.

From Yesterday:

Love the NHC but...this is a classic Cape verde tropical depression...leading tail et al

I get it... no threat...no need to bring anyone in to write advisories...classify it tomorrow then update genesis post season....book it

Earliest would be 8am or more likely 11et. I think it is a min TS...if recon was inside
