  1. Starting to cook again. Lucky to have this in radar range to document inner core processes
  2. The lightning in the core, insane cloud motions in the eye, and general overall IMPRESSIVE vorticity signature pulling in inflow from hundreds of miles away suggest this is very likely on the cusp of cat 5 intensity. Any intense convective bursts bring it near or at that level. As has been said by others, impressive doesn’t even begin to describe it. I’m still having a hard time believing it’s happening like THIS this early. Wild.
  3. While beryl is getting the attention and rightfully so, this will also stun people with how intense it gets. Early call is a similar but less intense solution that’s is occurring with beryl, track a bit further north. Major hurricane strike risk for the Antilles is high again with this one (which is just hilarious that I’m saying this and not trolling). Crazy ass season
  4. Just wait till tonight when we see the first June cat 5 ever. Special special storm that will be talked about forever
  5. Thinking has changed. Given beryl is beginning a RIC and still has more than 24 hours until first landfall, I’m now fairly certain that the islands will face a record breaking June hurricane. Cannot rule out a push for cat five unfortunately. Conditions are favorable and this is a nasty vortex. You can tell how strong it is by the amount of western inflow it is pulling in ahead of it. Trades have been completely stopped ahead of the storm.
  6. Excellent spiral banding out west ahead of the storm. Excellent inflow on the southern side as well. Great outflow expanding westward. Only hindering issue is some easterly shear. Thinking remains the same, however Intensity I am increasing to 135 mph+ at first impact. Beryl will be gone after this year
  7. No change in thinking tonight. Once recon gets there they find a solid hurricane imo. It’s way ahead of schedule. Major major cane strike for the Antilles.
  8. Considering guidance, the already impressive organization of this wave, and the ridge this will be running under: the islands are at substantial risk of a major hurricane strike from this system. The same goes for all interests beyond first landfall as well.
  9. It should be noted that systems who are relatively strong / intensifying coming into the E CAR are far less likely to succumb to fast trades. Strong systems modify the trades ahead of them with their inflow, especially if they are intensifying. As an example, hurricane Maria. Other factors can induce weakening however, but I wouldn’t count on fast wind trades in the E CAR for this one.
  10. Jesus we got a youngin here talking all crazy. Talking slang and shit. This season is about to slang out a bunch of storms towards land this year. You can already tell how west based all the development is so far. Climate models thus far are nailing it
  11. I think once it gets within radar range and velocities start coming in they upgrade. that or when recon gets there in a few hours. Its an obvious TC though, its just how strong of a TS is it. its small as shit tho, Marco level small.
  12. Oof. Interesting times ahead. It’s closer to radar and looking very, very interesting.
  13. The spiral banding is there. Check out radar out of Jacksonvile on radar pro. Showers moving due SSE ahead of the low. It’s small but it’s there and it’s not weak I think. If I were to guess recon find a strong tropical storm in a couple of hours
  14. Coming into radar view from Jacksonville. Like I said NHC better hurry or somebody is getting an unforecasted tropical storm tmr
  15. NHC taking a gamble waiting on this. It’s a small system and can ramp up quickly. Don’t wanna wake up and have a random microcane slip under your nose. Circulation looks very stout now, albeit small
  16. Thus far the season is delivering exactly as expected. West based activity with lots of threats
  17. This is gonna be beryl. Well defined center with some convection getting going. Any kind of sustained convection and it’s instant classification
  18. Lots of vorticity off the nw Yucatán right now. It’s pretty far south though so I’m not sure it swings far enough north to get to the US. Lots of heavy rain north of the center though with the individual lobes roaring around the dominant southern one.
  19. Starting to get some solid vorticity / rotation going over the Yucatán peninsula now. TC genesis likely imminent once it moves over water
