POST-TROPICAL STORM BERYL INFORMATION STATEMENT ISSUED BY THE
CANADIAN HURRICANE CENTRE OF ENVIRONMENT CANADA AT 9.30 AM NDT
SATURDAY 22 JULY 2006.
...RAIN FROM POST-TROPICAL STORM BERYL RACING ACROSS NEWFOUNDLAND...


AT 9.30 AM NDT... POST-TROPICAL STORM BERYL WAS LOCATED NEAR
LATITUDE 48.7 N AND LONGITUDE 57.0 W... ABOUT 70 MILES
OR 115 KM EAST OF STEPHENVILLE, NEWFOUNDLAND . MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS ARE
ESTIMATED AT 40MPH... 65 KM/H... AND CENTRAL PRESSURE AT 1003
MB. BERYL IS MOVING EAST NORTHEAST AT 28MPH... 44 KM/H.

DESPITE BERYL HAVING UNDERGONE EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION A LONG TIME
AGO..A HEAVY BAND OF RAIN CONTINUES TO MOVE RAPIDLY ACROSS
NEWFOUNDLAND THIS MORNING BRINGING A BRIEF PERIOD OF INTENSE
RAINFALL. THIS BAND DROPPED 15 TO 20 MM IN AN HOUR AT PORT AUX
BASQUES AND BURGEO. NO RAINFALL WARNINGS ARE NECESSARY BECAUSE
THE BAND WILL MOVE THROUGH RATHER QUICKLY.

WINDS ARE BECOMING GUSTY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE ISLAND THIS
MORNING AS THE LOW MOVES NORTHEAST. GUSTS ARE UP TO GALE FORCE
OR 40MPH 65 KM/H AT ST LAWRENCE AS OF 9 AM. MODERATELY ROUGH SURF WILL
BUILD ALONG THE SOUTHERN COASTS OF THE ISLAND TODAY.

MARGINAL GALE FORCE WINDS ARE BEING CARRIED THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST
PERIOD SOUTH OF THE TRACK OF THE LOW. SEAS BETWEEN 3 AND 4 METRES
ARE FORECAST ALONG THE SOUTH COASTAL WATERS TODAY.

RADAR INDICATES A HINT OF A CIRCULATION CENTRE.

THIS HEAVY AREA OF RAIN WILL MOVE QUITE QUICKLY ACROSS THE ISLAND
THIS MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON. THE FAST MOTION SHOULD KEEP THE
RAINFALL TOTALS LESS THAN THOSE EXPERIENCED IN THE MARITIMES. THE
MAIN AREA OF RAIN COULD BE MOVING OFF TO THE NORTHEAST OF GANDER NEWFOUNDLAND BY
MID MORNING.

POST-TROPICAL BERYL INFORMATION STATEMENT ISSUED BY THE CANADIAN
HURRICANE CENTRE OF ENVIRONMENT CANADA AT 3.30 PM NDT SATURDAY
22 JULY 2006.
THE NEXT STATEMENT WILL BE ISSUED AT 6.30 PM NDT

...BERYL HEADS OUT TO THE OPEN SEA...

AT 3.30 PM NDT... POST-TROPICAL BERYL WAS LOCATED NEAR LATITUDE
49.8 N AND LONGITUDE 53.5 W... ABOUT 90 MILES OR 145 KM
EAST NORTHEAST OF GANDER, NEWFOUNDLAND . MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT
40MPH... 65 KM/H... AND CENTRAL PRESSURE AT 1004 MB. BERYL IS
MOVING EAST AT 37MPH... 59 KM/H.

RADAR SHOWS THAT HEAVY PRECIP ASSOCIATED WITH BERYL HAS BLOWN OUT TO
SEA. SOME BOUNDARY LAYER PRECIP IS OCCURING IN WAKE OF BERYL
OVER THE GANDER LOOP DUE TO WIND CONVERGENCE.

STILL A STRONG BELT OF SOUTHWESTERLIES PRODUCING GUSTS IN THE
UPPER 30S OVER SOUTH COAST AND EXPOSED AREAS OF THE AVALON
PENINSULA. THOUGH SUSTAINED WINDS ARE LIKELY LESS THEN 40MPH..
WE WILL MAINTAIN BERYL AS A GALE CENTRE AS IT TRACKS THROUGH
NEWFOUNDLAND WATERS BECAUSE WINDS WILL LOSE THEIR FRICTIONAL
RETARDATION AS BERYL MOVES OFF THE LAND.

BERYL PASSED JUST NORTHWEST OF GANDER AT 15Z.

WILL WAIT FOR 18Z SYNOS FOR OFFICIAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS LEFT BY BERYL.
HOWEVER A CURSORY LOOK SHOWS LOCAL AMOUNTS OF 25 TO 35 MM LIKELY.

POST-TROPICAL STORM BERYL INFORMATION STATEMENT ISSUED BY THE
CANADIAN HURRICANE CENTRE OF ENVIRONMENT CANADA AT 9.30 PM NDT
SATURDAY 22 JULY 2006.

THIS WILL BE THE FINAL MESSAGE ON BERYL FROM THE CANADIAN
HURRICANE CENTRE.

... BERYL OVER FUNK ISLAND BANK MOVING OUT TO THE OPEN ATLANTIC...


AT 9.30 PM NDT... POST-TROPICAL STORM BERYL WAS LOCATED NEAR LATITUDE
49.9 N AND LONGITUDE 47.2 W... ABOUT 300 MILES OR 480 KM
EAST NORTHEAST OF ST JOHNS . MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS ARE
ESTIMATED AT 40MPH... 65 KM/H... AND CENTRAL PRESSURE AT 1005
MB. BERYL IS MOVING EAST AT 40MPH... 65 KM/H.


RADAR AND SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWED THE CLOUDS AND RAIN SHREDDING AWAY
FROM BERYL AS IT GOT CAUGHT UP IN THE STRONG WESTERLY WINDS OF THE
UPPER ATMOSPHERE OVER NEWFOUNDLAND. AS A RESULT..PORT AUX BASQUES
PICKED UP THE HIGHEST RAINFALL AMOUNT AT 33.5 MILLIMETRES. ST JOHN'S ONLY PICKED UP 8.4MM AND A PEAK GUST TO 54KM/H. RAINFALL
AMOUNTS DWINDLED TO AROUND 10 MM BY THE TIME BERYL REACHED EASTERN
NEWFOUNDLAND. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT MODERATE RAINFALL AMOUNTS
MEASURED ON THE WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE NORTHERN PENINSULA WERE
MOSTLY GENERATED BY A FRONTAL SYSTEM COMBINED WITH SOME CONTRIBUTION
FROM BERYL.
THE STRONGEST WINDS WERE THE SOUTH TO SOUTHWESTERLIES REPORTED TO
THE SOUTH OF THE TRACK OF BERYL. SOUTHWESTERLIES GUSTED TO 38 KNOTS
OR 70 KM/H AT SAGONA ISLAND.. WINTERLAND.. CAPE RACE AND GRATE'S
COVE. MAINTAIN BERYL AS A GALE CENTRE THROUGH FUNK ISLAND BANK
BUT THEREAFTER IT SHOULD CONTINUE TO WEAKEN.

IT HAS BECOME DIFFICULT TO TRY AND PIN POINT CIRCULATION ON VISUAL
SATELLITE IMAGERY NOW THAT SUN HAS SET.. BUT A QUICK EXTRAPOLATION
WITH THE EYEBALL PUTS BERYL ON EASTWARD COURSE PASSING 50N 50W AT 21Z.

WINDS HAVE DIED DOWN NOW THAT BERYL IS OUT TO SEA.


THIS WILL BE THE FINAL MESSAGE ON BERYL FROM THE CANADIAN HURRICANE
CENTRE.

This is why I think the NHC should still issue advisories on Extratropical Systems. They can pack a mean punch. Look at KYLE from a few years ago.... Small harmless storm, but once it got off of Newfoundland, kaboom, they bomb. They are very potent.

PK, this will probably be a bomb this week
