ATL: BERYL - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[Beef Stew]

Getting some Delta '20 from this. 30 minutes after the upgrade to a 115 mph hurricane, the NHC made an update statement classifying it as a C4 hurricane (140 mph)

Off topic here, but I'll never forget Delta's intensification. It had some of the most compact pressure gradients I'd ever seen, and with its pinhole eye it seemed like it was going to continue intensifying right into the top echelon of Caribbean hurricanes on record. Then the unexpected mid-layer shear kicked in and wrecked it just as quickly as it had deepened.

Beryl is a fairly different storm, but it does remind me of some in recent years, like Delta, Laura, and Ida, that have almost entirely "skipped" category 3.

recon, looks like Beryl is moving more NW now.

With the readings coming out of the HH, an upgrade to Cat 4 is likely I would think.

Kind of looks like Laura

Good lord that is one of the most intimidating eyes I have seen in many years. Not far off from developing that stadium like appearance, CAT 5!

I am always mesmerized by satellite loops of major storms. Terrifyingly beautiful.

Beryl said no to a season ramp-up. Full throttle. What a beautiful and terrifying storm so early!

[Beef Stew]

There it is- category 4 Beryl on June 30th. Officially the first cat 4 in the Atlantic basin in the month of June (Audrey used to be, but later was revised to a 125 mph peak).

Tolakram, thanks for all the good satellite images and info. Always great at what you do.

I just can’t believe what I’m seeing with Beryl. Grenada may be unrecognizable I’m afraid.

[captainbarbossa19]

I find it very fascinating that a couple days ago we were talking about possible dissipation in the Western Caribbean Sea. Now we have a category 4 hurricane that might only have minor disruptions before it approaches the Yucatan. It just shows that things can change very fast in a short amount of time!

[birddogsc]

The ramp-up from TS to symmetrical major at that lat/long is mouth-dropping.

Does anybody know when the first category 5 hurricane of a season was? Also, if this doesn't stop we may wind up with a June category 5 hurricane by this evening

Some dry air in its path



that band running before the core should protect it from the dry air.
