Witness Protection Program Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Sorry, but Beryl is an awful name for a hurricane. Betsy, Bonnie, Bob, and even Beulah were good ones, but Beryl sounds like a New Age cough syrup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also the name of a mineral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She May have been "Ugly", though She's dropped benifical rains to many that needed it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quincy Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 She could regenerate and regain Tropical Storm status later in the week, once the system moves back into the Atlantic Ocean off the Carolina coast... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WEATHER53 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Looking like it might mix in with approaching cold front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted May 29, 2012 Author Share Posted May 29, 2012 She looks to be moving more NNE than NE right now. So, it looks to me like she's tracking a bit west of the projected track for the time being. If that continues, she would stay inland longer through the Carolinas. However, she is projected to turn more ENEward shortly. Let's see if that occurs. Here in Savannah, we just had a quick heavy squall-like feeder band come through from the south.

Well, she ended up turning more NE and then ENE this afternoon and evening. So, she pretty much stuck to the NHC track. They did so well with Beryl trackwise. Total rainfall had been fairly paltry here in Savannah up until mid afternoon (under 1"). There had been several heavy feeder bands accompanied by gusty winds since Sunday evening, but the accompanying heavy rain fell mainly for just a few minutes each time. However, a nice band of heavy rain (longer lasting) then came through at about 3 PM and then the steadiest rains finally fell this evening just east of Beryl's center with some of it pretty heavy. I'm guessing that at least ~1" fell this evening alone (no rain gauge here). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amped Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Not bad. Big storms often mark the end of dry periods so June and July rainfall should be at or above normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klw Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Looks like it is off the coast now. Looking rather extratropical as it is wrapped up a bit with the front. Nice to see those rainfall totals above- some nice help for the drought in that area. http://www.wxforecas...Carolinas.html# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gymengineer Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Not bad - Hatteras gusting to at least 45 mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
