ATL: BERYL - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[PavelGaborik10]

Pleasantly surprised to see this thing is taking its time organizing.

Still July thankfully, may not be so fortunate in the months ahead if this scenario arises.

[Stormcenter]

Still time left so I wouldn’t write it off for at least
hurricane strength.

Beryl is reminding me of Isadore in 2002. Cyclone just couldn't get it back together after visiting the Yucatan. Doubt this system enters RI phase.....MGC

Agreed. She just doesn’t look like a system that is primed for RI. And fortunately she will be inland before being able to take advantage of DMAX.

[ScottNAtlanta]

Max winds were around 40 miles from the center earlier today and are now in the 20's so the max winds are coming in closer to the center

Exactly. Conditions are expected to be favorable all the way up until landfall. Its slow pace of organization so far has been good, but I would keep an eye on it until its core is unquestionably no longer over water.

In Lumberton North of Beaumont and got some feeder bands earlier pretty heavy. Then the Sun now thunder in the distance. We are now under a Tropical Storm Warning. We shall see.

Expect it imho. You’ll be close to the center of circulation as it’s coming up. A few miles east or west will make a difference.

Stepped away for a few hours, I see the small core that was attempting form was not successful. Dry air still an issue. However radar velocities have come up a bit and I see pressure is a little down. That tower going around the southern quadrant looks like the real deal, let’s see

That is encouraging....I read the 4 pm update from NHC....it seems to my novice mind...that beryl has remained less organized longer than previously thought?...which potentially means a weaker beryl than previously thought?....

[Bimms]

Starting to think that is not going to reach hurricane strength and stay a TS and be mainly a rain event. I really thought it was going to intensify based on past behavior, but that's the things about nature, you never really know what it's going to do.

It’s what wx98 was talking about. When there is a broader windfield it takes a lot more energy to strengthen than if it’s a small or tight center. Also remember it’s July, there was dry air and land disruption. Despite all that it’s probably still going to crank coming in. If it’s not the southern edge this round, burst after sunset will probably close off the center. Then it’s just a matter of how fast it can intensify before it is inland. I don’t think it can get to the 960s but probably 975 or up?

More or less.. It substantially reduces the chances of reaching a Cat 2 or perhaps even a strong Cat 1. She’s running out of time for that scenario, but it’s not impossible.

Not according to recon…

[cheezyWXguy]

Patience, people. These things take time, especially when starting out with a loose, large core. Those of you who were here for Ian remember the downcasting comments before it took off on approach to Cuba. Beryl won’t take off to that level, obviously, but I wouldn’t write it off at this point.

[cheezyWXguy]

Eye drop is good for 985mb. There you have it…

[IsabelaWeather]

Some criticism is fair and warranted. There’s way too much model hugging and not enough old fashioned meteorology. The problem is that there were signs fairly early on that some models were picking up on (namely the ICON, Navy, and JWA) that the ridge could break down, but the typical favorite models weren’t giving into that.

The other problem is when Mets (and the general public) use definitive statements instead of probabilities.

There’s no way to sugarcoat this one. This was a rather big miss for models and also some mets who were convinced this was a Mexico issue.

That isn't true. There were plenty of meteorological reasons the storm could have went into CA or Mexico. The longwave trough could easily have moved slower, the big thing here is beryl was stronger and more resilient to the shear. Turned the TUTT into a retrograding upperlevel low. Had it been disrupted then it would have went SW to W into CA or Mex. Take the exact same scenario you could easily have had a disrupted storm that did not behave like Beryl. Sometimes there are randomness you cant forecast or maybe there is something we still don't fully understand.

You are just using the benefit of hindsight to make it sound so obvious.

I also don't think the models busted that badly, there were many ensemble members that took the track it ended up taking, the NHC track was pretty darn good from the outset.

Not to pick apart your opinion but the models played catch up for the last 5 days to the ICON, JMA even the crappy NAVGEM..as did the NHC.

A broken clock is right twice a day. But I'm not sure what youre talking about with the NHC. The 5 day cone has the projected landfall point in the cone at day 5 when the storm was approaching Jamaica.

Thats a pretty decent forecast to me, especially considering the way the Texas coast lines up with the track where 20 miles E or W is like 100 mile different.

I've seen tropical storms a lot less organized than this form up, we are not far from seeing some RI here... I'm willing to bet on it.

the end of that cone is call "uncertainty" when it bubbles out like that, and that's also just so they can say look we had it in the cone, 96hrs later to make themselves feel better..

I’d be shocked if this doesn’t ramp up to a mid cat 1 at least. The real intensification was always scheduled to start late afternoon, and will continue until it is fully on land. That is a lot of time.
