She's a fighter, but cooler waters will win out, shes still in waters in the high 70s I believe, and Epsilon strengthened in those conditions.

just some convection needed and we could have a really nice storm
but i doubt we will see any explosions

Epsilon was a weak hurricane in high shear and waters around the low to mid 70's.

very similar

KWT · #905 Postby **KWT** » Thu Jul 20, 2006 1:00 pm

similar but upper air temps over Epsilon were actually very low at the time so it could get away with lower SST's as the net lapse rates were still pretty similar as to what they'd normally be in the tropics, also shear was at higher lvels, Epsilon was a shallow system and so missed the worst of it it seems.

they better put some new warnings and stuff cause this things gettin close

We got some dry air over my area, not very dry though.

it looks like it might be turning NE now... definitely looking unhealthy on IR. still an impressive visible though, some convection is trying to refire on the east side of the center.

On radar it still looks like it's moving NNE.

I measure a movement toward 041 deg. from 1725Z-1825Z. That would be NE. Speed 12.5 kts.

SHe's starting to fire up a bit in her NE Quad.

That's an indication of increasing SW-W winds aloft. Core appears to be spreading out, too, a sign that the transition to ET may be starting.

hmmm. the "eye" almost looks like a bowl from the RGB loop.

Really lacking in convection now:

Eyewall · #916 Postby **Eyewall** » Thu Jul 20, 2006 5:28 pm

I'm telling you guys.. its gonna be down to like 30 knots in the next 12-18 hrs.

hmm looks like the shear is starting to effect Beryl cuz its blowling all the tops off the thudnerstorms.

Definitely looks like the center is becoming exposed again. I wouldn't be surprised if they lowered the intensity to 40 or 35 kt at 8 PM, although I doubt they will, since it's an intermediate advisory and all.

The latest Recon supports holding it though (FL 54 kt)...

They also measured a 56mph wind on the surface right before they left . . . which almost supports an upgrade.
