ATL: BERYL - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[mrbagyo]

What a gorgeous storm you have out there.
I'll continue to watch the progress of this system while our basin over here (WPAC) continues its slumber

Good morning yall...im sorry I haven't been too active lately....I hope this question has not been asked already...my bad if it has...but is Beryl considered a annular cyclone?...thanks

[TallyTracker]

Another item to note. Strengthening hurricanes are worse than weakening hurricanes of the same strength. They can more effectively pull high wind gusts to the surface. Praying for the Grenadines this morning…

I don’t think so. Too much banding. It’s not very close. But the pinwheel eye is neat

No, classic buzz saw. Annular is rare.

Should be making landfall on Carriacou in the next minutes. Beryl will be the most intense hurricane to hit the Southern Windwards since records have began.

Hoping for the best for everyone in Grenada and carriacou. I’ve been there multiple times and think a lot of the islands and the people there. At least this is a fast moving storm. Pretty brisk pace.

Upcoming recon pass should provide information on the landfall intensity of Beryl.

Expecting winds between 140-150MPH to be honest. Which the islands have yet to experience as they will be on the eastern side of the eyewall...

So when did we start measuring and recording intensity with technology that is similar to what we use today? 1960s? 1970s. Have we always investigated storms this far away?

[ScottNAtlanta]

I'm going to guess pressure is down to 948mb

Official hurricane records go back to 1851 many of them are based on ship records and early meteorological records which are meticulously kept. Much of the data has been refined over the years from reanalyses done by HURDAT. There is an argument that The Great Hurricane of 1780 would be the strongest in the general area but we don't have any particularly good meteorological records on how strong it actually was.

Pinwheel eyes are rare but can SOMETIMES be within an annular type system. But the rain band features within Beryl do not align with an annular type system.

What's the thoughts once Beryl hits 65W and is a little further away from SA?I am thinking the she may expand some?

The first GPS dropsondes were in the late 1980s. In the 1960s-1970s all they had were flight level winds.

[ScottNAtlanta]

The pinwheel in the center looks like fan blades

[Hurricane2022]

I'm waiting for some records of the eye. it will be historic.

There are two main reasons/ways a hurricane expands. The first would occur during an eyewall replacement cycle, but that's generally a temporary expansion. The primary way a hurricane expands is after significant land interaction, like crossing the Yucatan when the core is severely disrupted.
