Recommended Posts

If you look at the high refresh IR imagery (for instance COD) i’m seeing gravity waves in the hurricane. Been watching for these since rapid intensification yesterday but only showed up in the last hour or so. Often indicative of a strengthening storm. 

Its deepened like 15mb this morning, def still cranking

Hurricane Beryl Tropical Cyclone Update
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL       AL022024
100 PM AST Mon Jul 1 2024

...CATASTROPHIC WINDS AND LIFE-THREATENING STORM SURGE CONTINUE IN 
THE SOUTHERN WINDWARD ISLANDS...

Beryl continues to produce catastrophic winds and life-threatening 
storm surge to the Grenadine Islands, Carriacou Island, and Grenada. 
This is an extremely dangerous and life-threatening situation. 
Residents should not leave their shelter and remain in place through 
the passage of these life-threatening conditions.

A weather station at Grenada airport recently reported a sustained 
wind speed of 92 mph (148 km/h) and a gust of 121 mph (194 km/h).

A weather station in St. Lucia recently reported a sustained wind 
speed of 52 mph (83 km/h) and a gust of  63 mph (102 km/h).

This is the last hourly Tropical Cyclone Update on Beryl. The next 
intermediate advisory will be issued at 200 PM AST (1800 UTC).

That gust to 121 mph isn't even close to the center.

About 30 miles away?

My friends in Barbados made out good, 60 mph gusts with some street flooding and couple boats sank in harbor

It’s also going to be retired for wrecking the Antilles, Jamaica, Yucatán, and Mexico.  This will be a very damaging storm with multiple landfalls.  The history it’s already made is merely the cherry on top

Definitely making a run at a 5 right now.

That is one of the most stunning, jaw dropping infrared scans of an Atlantic Basin hurricane ever. An absolute buzzsaw, almost annular. Is this really June or is this August and we entered a multi-verse?

Wouldn't it be a hoot if Beryl turned out to be the strongest system of the 2024 season.   You almost want to hope so for U.S. coastal interests.

Hopefully Beryl is not a trend setter for what lies ahead for August, September and October.

I can get behind this.

That's what people probably said about Dennis in 2005. 

Then Emily said hold my beer.

Then Katrina said hold my beer.

Then Rita said hold my beer.

Then Wilma said hold my beer.

Might we get one to beat Wilma?

Structures seem pretty solid concrete. All the roofs will likely be gone though. Even in Irma many well built buildings faired well, and that was a much stronger hurricane 

So there is hope for preservation of life. That in itself is good news.

You forgot Grand Cayman.

Had those in my mind when I posted.   That season was amazing.  Sure hope that is not the case this season.

Remember the days before the GOES-R satellites, when we got images every 15 minutes with a delay (and a couple times a day there was a 30+ minute break between images), and the old GOES satellites did not even give us any image below the north half of the Caribbean?  Now we get a full, beautiful image every minute, in real time.  GOES-R has been amazing for hurricane tracking.

WeatherNerds satellite IR image shows incredible lightening wrapping 3/4 of the way around the inner core. Barbados radar, which is nearly out of range, is showing over 600 recent lightening strikes near the core of Beryl. The core has become very symmetric too, losing the cloud layer intrusions that were affecting it as it passed over the islands. The storm looks to be strengthening yet again, and between the NOAA dropsonde indicating 132kt winds in the northern Eyewall, the Air Force vortex recon messaging indicating 140kt SFMR winds, and the Grenada Airport (questionable reading) reporting 161mph (140kt) gust, I think it is safe to say that this storm was likely already Category 5 before this latest strengthening phase started.

That gust to 121 in Grenada is sobering. That’s 30 miles from the eye, in the southern quad of the storm. It’s also on the extreme southern end of the island. Good lord 

I think they meant the Grenada airport located on Carriacou.  I've been following the Sandals resort feeds next to the Maurice Bishop Airport and it doesn't seem like they really had any gusts over 50mph.  The resort staff is currently setting pool chairs and other items back up for use tomorrow.

This makes much more sense.  No way did the Island of Grenada record a gust that high 30 miles or so south of the center.
