Beryl!?! They’re just making up names now aren’t they?

My wife is in Orlando for my girls' dance competition. The bartender at the hotel told her there was a hurricane coming. My wife googles it and finds a graphic showing a hurricane heading right to us.
The graphic was from 2022.
God do I hate hurricane season.
Remember when they used to hit NC all the time? I think it is their turn again.

That's pretty bad juju to wish a hurricane on someone, shit like that tends to backfire.
BMills, July hurricanes always get made-up names, you didn't know that?

Yeah, not wishing them on anyone, but 20 years of them pretty much ending up pinballing around in the Gulf is getting old.
There was a good 10 -12 year stretch when they were hitting more East Coast.
Just more wondering out loud when the trend changes back.
Obviously we will hope for wimpy TS's and no landfall on HH or MA.

Hurricanes search for and then follow the warm water so as the Gulf Stream fluctuates and cools the storms don't turn north early enough. Hurricanes are essentially heat pumps drawing heat out of the tropics and dumping it into cooler areas but they need the energy from warm water to do it. AMOC isn't necessarily shutting down (yet) but more warmth has been building to the west the last few years, the water off the New England and Long Island coast is downright cold so far this year.

Yeah, and so you guys get more seals and Great Whites.
Not sure which is better.
One thing is for sure, I'll take either one over a Tornado any day.
As bad as Hurricanes suck, we get plenty of warning. Your life is only at risk if you decide to risk it. Property can always be replaced.
Tornadoes don't give you any choice.

As a born and raised New Englander Im leery of tornadoes. Like you say with a hurricane you have plenty of warning. I was drilling in Oklahoma a few years ago and a few tornadoes came ripping through the area. They are pretty scary. Before I left NH we used to cruise 1A and drink beer and watch the hurricanes come ashore.

Yeah tornadoes are sketchy, I drove through a chaotic storm last week that dropped an EF1 a few miles later. That was fun Lotsa warning for a hurricane only helps so much when your neighborhood is old, the trees are huge and the power lines and homes are below them. I grew up with water 3 feet deep in the street from the big coastal storms.

Not so much the case in New England. The last tornado I remember in NE was a small twister that tore through Palmer, MA almost a decade ago maybe more. NE is pretty safe unless everything is frozen and it decides to get up to the mid 40s and rain like hell for a week.

Hurricane 2024
This could get interesting when Beryl gets into the GoM. Initial environment has shear but then it dies out.
Since Beryl`s structure has degraded significantly from its passage over the Yucatan, it likely will take a little time for the storm to recover. However, the overall environmental conditions are conducive for strengthening with increasing water temperatures and decreasing vertical wind shear along the expected track. In
addition, the global models are suggesting that the upper-level wind pattern might become more diffluent before the system reaches the coast, which could aid in the intensification process. Although the
global models are not particularly skillful in predicting the maximum winds of a tropical cyclone, they do assess the environmental factors well and the ECMWF and GFS models show significant decreases in the system`s minimum pressure over the next couple of days. Based on these fundamental factors, the NHC intensity forecast calls for slow strengthening during the next day
or so, followed by more steady strengthening until Beryl makes landfall. This forecast is similar to the previous one.Last edited by neufox47; 07-05-2024 at 09:04 PM.

Dead center in the Gulf right now with not much opposition. It's trying to get towards Houston it looks like to me.
