    That still looks like a much better pattern than last year to me. Canada looks much colder and the PV is elongated towards the NE US.

    I think its time for one of your patented "Jeb Walks"......particularly one that takes you in the opposite direction from your keyboard.
  3. 40/70 Benchmark
    I agree. That is the scenario that I laid out in my First Call last night.
  4. 40/70 Benchmark
    Interesting...I hadn't factored the compact nature into my assessment when considering regeneration...perhaps my TX landfall intensity is conservative. Something to ponder over the weekend before taking a Final stab at it.
  5. 40/70 Benchmark
    The weakening at the last moment prior to landfall was expected, as the system reentered the hostile shear zone.
  6. 40/70 Benchmark
    That is where my First Call from last night went.
  7. 40/70 Benchmark
    Hmmmm....
  8. 40/70 Benchmark
    No....not my focus. Not paying attention to inland track, but I don't think this will be a Harvy-like epic flood because it should keep moving. Austin will probably see some rain...

    The decrease in foreward speed over the SW GOM may not promote that much upwelling considering the system will be much weaker...important not to lose sight of that since we are used to conceptualizing this system as a powerhouse. I think it will be speeding up again due to trough interaction closer to the coast by the time it regains hurricane strength.

    Here is my First crack at Beryl....will update late Saturday night or Sunday. https://easternmassweather.blogspot.com/2024/07/hurricane-beryl-moves-away-from-jamaica.html

    With smaller islands, like Jamaica for instance, but not a large peninsula like the Yucatan.

    Depends on the season....haven't known much between December and March for a few years
  14. 40/70 Benchmark
    SST are about the same in the SW GOM as they are in the Caribbean, so we just have to see how much it slows down, as TCHP is def. significantly lower.
  15. 40/70 Benchmark
    Okay, you aren't saying the SST don't matter...got it. I think I would still rather have the warmth be deep with 190 MPH gusts, but point absolutely taken.
  16. 40/70 Benchmark
    Place it over cool water and it is still going to weaken, albeit at a slower pace than it would at a more deliberate rate of movement.
  17. 40/70 Benchmark
    I don't think I agree that it doesn't matter......yes, the fast rate of movement helps the system by limiting upwelling, but the the starting point of the latent energy is still about as high as it can possibly be. I Think that helps mitigate the detrimental impact of relatively hostile mid levels.
  18. 40/70 Benchmark
    I remain on the aggressive side of things. Never expected as much weakening as the official forecast implied INVO Jamaica, either.
  19. 40/70 Benchmark
    Not with the wife away, no...only innies
  20. 40/70 Benchmark
    After a wet May, I only had 2.27" of rainfall throughout June, as most of the activity has been south of me of late....def. noticed a decreased rate of lawn growth over the course of the past couple of weeks due to the drier conditions. It was much faster in May and most of June.
  21. 40/70 Benchmark
    There is def. a bit of a lag between presentation and actual intensity changes. I still like the northern side of the track envelop at this time...probably a First Call either tonight or tomorrow and Final on Sunday. TCHP isn't nuts in the SW GOM like it was in the Caribbean, but certainly enough to support intensification back to a hurricane assuming favorable mid levels.
  22. 40/70 Benchmark
    Yea, we don't necessarily need wholesale changes to get a better sensible weather result in terms of winter in the east. However, especially from around mid SNE and up....just a break here and there and snowfall would have been much better recently.
  23. 40/70 Benchmark
    Post the link for the microwave imaging? TIA....
  24. 40/70 Benchmark
    Yea, no question...this has been my baseline assumption heading into the season.
  25. 40/70 Benchmark
    I think the poster who made the point about the rapid speed of movement over exceptional TCHP countering the hostile mid level envt. nailed it....not to mention how pristinely developed that core was upon encountering the more hostile conditions is why its perservering so well.
