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

The two main factors are how quickly does or will the upper air low in the western bay of Campeche get out of the way and can Beryl slow down and sort of get slung a bit to the WNW or even NW to slow and develop underneath an area of developing area of high pressure as the upper air low vacates west bound.  I think in regards if Beryl can get itself together and strike as a Cat 1 to Cat 3 hurricane the odds are like 45% that it will and 55% that it won't so yea 50/50 at this point.

As a native houstonian who now lives in Cali…..I’m very very nervous. If you want a hurricane in Houston, these are the model plots you want to see (because they always adjust north when a western gulf storm recurving).  Add that to the fact that the fucker crossed Cozumel when zero models showed this……ya I’m nervous.

Hurricane Beryl Discussion Number  28
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL       AL022024
1000 AM CDT Fri Jul 05 2024

The center of Beryl made landfall on the Yucatan Peninsula of 
Mexico just northeast of Tulum at about 11Z. The landfall intensity 
is somewhat uncertain, but surface observations suggest the central 
pressure rose into the 977-980 mb range before landfall.  The 
cyclone is now weakening as it moves farther inland, and the 
initial intensity is reduced to 75 kt.

The initial motion is now 290/14 kt.  For the next 24 h or so, 
Beryl should be steered generally west-northwestward by the 
western portion of the subtropical ridge over the southeastern 
United States.  After that, a turn toward the northwest is likely 
as the storm moves towards a break in the ridge caused by a 
combination of a trough in the mid-latitude westerlies over the 
central United States and an upper-level trough moving westward 
over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico.  This motion should bring the 
center near the western Gulf coast in about 72 h.  Subsequently, a 
northward motion through the break appears likely.  While the track 
guidance has come into better agreement, there is still uncertainty 
based on the possible strength and vertical depth of Beryl.  A 
stronger and vertically deeper cyclone would feel more steering 
from upper-level southwesterly flow caused by the Gulf trough, and 
thus would have a more northward motion, while a weaker system 
would probably continue more northwestward.  Overall the guidance 
favors the more northward motion and has shifted a little to the 
right, and the new official forecast also is nudged a little to the 
right of the previous forecast.  Additional adjustments of the 
forecast track could be necessary later today.

Beryl should continue to weaken while over land, and it is expected 
to emerge over the Gulf of Mexico as a tropical storm.  After that, 
it could take 12-24 h for the cyclone's structure to recover over 
the Gulf of Mexico before re-intensification can begin in earnest.  
Based on this and the overall trends of the intensity guidance, the 
new forecast calls for gradual strengthening to start after 24 h 
and continue until landfall.  One important note is that the GFS 
and ECMWF suggest that ongoing westerly shear could decrease after 
48-60 h, accompanied by an increase in upper-level divergence.  
Should this occur, Beryl could strengthen more than currently 
forecast, especially if the center stays over water longer than 
forecast.

I’m not sure about landfall location yet, but I’m bullish. I think the combination of potential jet enhancement and frictional convergence near the coast could lead to a period of significant intensification. 

We of course have to see what it looks like after crossing the Yucatán, but any semblance of a core increases the chances it pulls itself together faster than anticipated.

If shear is more pesky in the Gulf that could slow it down, but I don’t think that’s a high likelihood. That also reduces the likelihood dry air gets entrained in a meaningful way. 

One other thing to closely watch is the final approach heading. A more due north heading would have obvious implications on track and I believe intensity too.

I agree. That is the scenario that I laid out in my First Call last night.

This Texas LF gets far enough east, Austin may be in the clear. That, looks increasingly  likely. Very good news. This could even turn out to be a New Orleans LF.

I can feel the incredible relief and rising joy, kind of like the way people felt when WWII was over!!!!!!!!

Still way too far out to be making claims like this. We have zero idea what the circulation is going to look like once it gets back offshore and the northward motion on the models is predicated by the strength of beryl. Stronger = further north.

The 12z GFS has Beryl becoming so broad and disorganized that it is barely able to get itself together before moving into Texas.

Models having a tough time with intensity especially for a relatively small hurricane like Beryl

I think its time for one of your patented "Jeb Walks"......particularly one that takes you in the opposite direction from your keyboard.

This happens a lot, where the only way for the core to tighten after becoming disorganized is  frictional effect in the few hours before landfall

12Z UKMET landfall is all of the way up to Corpus Christi. The 0Z run was in NE MX.  But this isn’t at all surprising considering clearcut N trends.

12Z CMC at MX/TX border, which is ~100 miles N of 0Z run. It is still the furthest S landfall by far compared to the ICON (Galveston), GFS (CC), and UKMET (CC).
