Hurricane Beryl - Hurricane Warning - Baffin Bay to San Luis Pass Texas

Put together some quick, early thoughts.

https://easternmassweather.blogspot.com/2024/06/hurricane-beryl-to-devastate-south.html

I think the southern half of the GEFS suite is probably out to lunch.....can see a Gilbert type scenario, but probably not further south than that.

Thanks—as you know, always respect your thoughts. 

We know that the usual June and July sloppy named storm means nothing for the season, but seeing Beryl do this in the context of what has already been a busy season (even if the other invests weren’t named) is a gigantic red flag for what likely lies ahead.

We’re not there yet, but I’m increasingly concerned that the Caribbean and possible shear won’t meaningfully slow this down. In a departure from the 12z run, the Euro keeps the buzzsaw going after a brief weakening to take this into Belize/Yucatán before a final hit in the most active tropical hot spot on the planet right now on the Gulf coast of Mexico. 
 

Caveats galore, folks:

Euro is best case for US.

I am hugging the Euro. That gfs is a catastrophe. Gfs brings Beryl right into Corpus, and I quake with insane fear at the thought of a Katrina intensity cane striking Corpus. Buda would be obliterated and I would be history. I am not up for this stuff anymore. I am an old man, all played out.

If I had the cash ------ I would already be in northern Alberta.

A saving grace for the islands could be the very small *core. Right now the track the entire core missing all the. Bigger islands.

A non-saving grace for the islands could be the second hurricane to hit the same spot 3 freaking days later...

That's good and hope it "threads the needle" to keep the worst winds off any of those islands.  I remember when beautiful Grenada was devastated by Ivan 20 years ago

At this range it could do anything - exact impact location is impossible to predict. However there are a few things to consider:

1. Stronger storms tend to be more likely to defy model tracks at range. Global models don’t do a good job identifying the core pressure of the storm and therefore use the wrong steering layer.

2. If it makes it into the gulf (not guaranteed given it’s got to thread the needle between Cuba and Yucatan), a very good rule is for everyone in the gulf to be on watch even if you think the storm is nowhere near you. Again steering layers are a big question as fast strengthening or weakening can cause a storm to take a very different track, and in the gulf someone is going to get hit with a landfall.
