UPDATED! SUNDAY AM! Beryl Is BACK. This Time As a Subtropical Storm. Nothing Expected After Beryl Moves On... For Awhile. 2 Weeks Til August. But...It's Been a Strange Quirky Year So Expect Surprises to Continue. NATL ICE CREAM DAY
Quick update on Beryl
Our Subtropical Storm Sitting over the Gulf Stream.
Good picture on Twitter from
It is out there.
Small center as always.
Tightly wrapped as always.
Discussion about it being over the Gulf Stream.
Not moving much.
Not much expected.
Sort of Beryl's story from the beginning.
You got to think of Beryl like one of those preemie babies born way back that wasn't expected to make it. The odds were too great, it was too tiny and not able to survive. Yet it survived. Beryl thrived in negative conditions, swam around like some sort of scuba diver hiding from the surface. Then coming back and showing her colors once over the warmer waters of the Gulf Stream. And, speaking of "warmer waters" in theory check out this map of the cooler waters Chris left behind.
Yet somehow Beryl found her groove again.
No disrespect to NHC but it's now a Canadian storm.
So showing their map first.
NHC below.
What's note worthy is Beryl reformed over coolerwater.
Beryl formed in the Atlantic over cooler water.
Maybe our thoughts on cool water need to...
....be rethunk :)
Still spinning after all this time.
It's Sunday I'm in a mood.
Ice Cream is on my radar for lunch.
Do we need to wonder on what's off the SE coast?
Possibly. Fronts are wonderful this time of year.
But then they fall flat there and well yeah...
Sometimes something spins up.
Dabuh raises that question.
As he has been in Surfer Heaven...
...he's very aware of the weather.
And that's it for this morning's update.
On the little storm that could
What's your favorite Ice Cream Flavor?
My inquiring mind wants to know ;)

Ps.. Remember back in 1993.
A strange little comedy became a big hit.
Jamaican Bob Sled Team.
That's kind of what Beryl reminds me of...
You can clearly see the closed circulation above.
And the official map from the NHC below.
So Beryl is back.
This time as a Subtropical Storm.
That makes sense.
Being reborn that far North in the Atlantic.
Sailing even farther North...
...out to sea.
Relevant data from NHC below.
Note Sable Island could get impacted again.
An impressive storm system really.
Born against all the odds in a sea of dust.
Water temperatures cooler than normal.
Dry air everywhere.
Yet she became a Hurricane anyway.
Small, itsby, bitsy hurricane.
But a hurricane for the record book.
Now cruising in the North Atlantic.
Go figure.
Sat image above.
Note the broad center.
Weather far removed from the center.
Weather everywhere.
Below is NOT Beryl
Seems like just rain.
Out by African more rain.
New wave, next wave.
Speaking of waves.
Quiet, serene looking water below.
Small waves, blue sky.
The horizon in between.
Speaking of waves ....
Will the rest of July be quiet?
Hard to say.
Odd year.
Possibilities out there.
So we will keep watching.
I had a beautiful Shabbos today (Jewish Sabbath on Saturday) and the weather even cooperated making it a joy to be outside in the middle of July. The air was not heavy, it was actually delightful in the shade and not bad even in the sunshine. And, there was so much sunshine today. The trees here in Raleigh look a little bit droopy, we could use a little rain I'm guessing. But, it was and has been beautiful the last few days. I'll be back to update as needed but there really isn't much of a need to update on Beryl is there? Two coastal cruisers that remained out in the Atlantic Ocean so far, but I wouldn't count on us being that lucky the rest of the year. Who knows? We'll see. Time always tells. While time is telling have fun, be happy and rock steady.
