Beryl

[Tropical Inspector]

Friday Night Update
Beryl in the Gulf

Beryl crossed the Yucatan peninsula today and made its way into the southern Gulf. It appears to be farther north than models anticipated. Most of the deep convection has dissipated, but restrengthening is expected as the low level circulation remains intact.

Tropical Weather Forecast:
Beryl track has shifted northward. It is now expected to cross the southern Gulf and move northwest toward the central Texas coast. Interests on all of the western Gulf coast should follow the progress of Beryl as the model may shift further. At this time landfall is expected Sunday night or now possibly Monday if it moves farther northward, likely regaining hurricane strength.

Saturday Morning Update
Beryl showing slight strengthening

IR satellite imagery shows the first small regeneration of deep convection near the low level circulation.

Tropical Weather Forecast:
Beryl is expected to restrengthen into a hurricane and make landfall on the central Texas coast Monday. Damaging winds, heavy rainfall, and storm surge are expected near its path. Also, rip tides will increase as wave action increases along Gulf beaches where swell from Beryl is experienced. Isolated tornadoes will be seen on outer rain bands once Beryl strengthens and the bands move inland.

Saturday Evening Update
Beryl unchanged in strength today

Visible satellite imagery shows that Beryl is fighting wind shear. Deep convection exists generally west of the circulation center and little to the east. A Hurricane Hunter is investigating and IMO the 60 mph sustained surface estimate is very generous. SFMR readings have been significantly lower.

Sunday Morning Update
Beryl approaching the Texas coast

IR satellite imagery show that convection has slightly increased since last evening, but still lacks organization. IMO 60 mph is still a generous wind estimate for surface sustained winds. All Beryl preparations should be finished this morning on the the Texas coast.

Sunday Late Afternoon Update
Beryl starting to organize

Satellite imagery shows that Beryl is beginning to organize this afternoon. NHC's forecast of Beryl becoming a category 1 hurricane before landfall is still on target. Hurricane Hunter reports show that the winds are slowly increasing and pressure is dropping. Indicating the strengthening phase.
