ATL: BERYL - Post-Tropical

[GCANE]

Looks like a very strong Vortical Hot Tower (VHT) fired off just slightly west of 40W.

[GCANE]

First view of Visible Satellite, showing small cirrus canopy and remnants of the VHT on top of it.
Looks like another hot tower beginning to fire off.

[GCANE]

Appears that an anti-cyclone has developed over 95L.
95L will be tracking into improving 355K PV.
Likely the vort column will stack and expand vertically.

[TheStormExpert]

If this doesn’t get classified today I doubt it ever will. Should be moving into the more unfavorable environment as early as tomorrow.

[Twisted-core]

Chance's of 95L Not already being closed with a circulation all the way upto 500mb atm are slim.

Satellite images indicate that the shower activity associated with a
small area of low pressure and a tropical wave located between the
Cabo Verde Islands and the Lesser Antilles remains well organized,
and a tropical depression could form at any time. This disturbance
is forecast to move westward or west-northwestward at 15 to 20 mph
over the tropical Atlantic Ocean. However, in a few days,
upper-level winds are forecast to become unfavorable, and the system
is expected to degenerate into a trough of low pressure before it
reaches the Lesser Antilles.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...70 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...70 percent.

[GCANE]

Big wave of WV, well past 18N.
Keeping SAL out of the core.

Looks pretty impressive this morning, like a classic weak TS or TD to me. Anyone have any recent ASCAT passes to see if this has a closed circulation?

[Alyono]

I still do not see a west wind south of the center. This has a storm relative circulation, not an earth relative one

From RAMBB, latest ASCAT & AMSU Wind Analysis
0.5C Warm Core with good low-level lapse rate

Thanks everyone for all the analyses.
We are watching this closely in the islands as even a strong tropical wave could cause us problems. We still are in recovery mode after Irma and many people are still living under tarps.

Glad again to see you back and the Northern Leewards continuing to rebuild step by step. Yes even a strong twave could be problematic. We must stay on our guard with 95L. Looks like this little boy is showing his little teeth , hope that he will not bring more than modest rain amount to stop the drought in many islands

...SPECIAL FEATURES...

An Atlantic Ocean tropical wave is along 39W from 16N southward.
A 1009 mb low pressure center is along the tropical wave near
10.5N. Scattered to numerous strong rainshowers are within a 15 nm
to 30 nm radius of 10N41W. isolated moderate to locally strong
rainshowers are elsewhere from 03N to 11N between 35W and 50W.
It is possible that some of the precipitation that is between 45W
and 50W easily may be more related to the 46W/47W tropical wave
and the ITCZ. The forecast for this system is that upper level
winds will become unfavorable, and the system is expected to
degenerate into a trough of low pressure before it reaches the
Lesser Antilles. The TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK gives the system
a high chance of tropical cyclone formation during the next 48
hours.

[NotSparta]

Shear is high ahead of the Caribbean.

[NotSparta]

ScatSat says closed circulation.

Special Message from NHC Issued 5 Jul 2018 14:11 UTC
NHC will initiate advisories at 11 AM AST/EDT on Tropical Depression Two located over the central tropical Atlantic Ocean.

[Kazmit]

I'm interested to see the NHC's intensity forecast. Probably won't do much with it before it heads into unfavorable conditions.

[Hypercane_Kyle]

I'd go with 40 knots before shear hits it like a sledgehammer.
