Seems like yesterday this was hitting southern TX into Mx and now this almost to the LA state line.

 

[Shaggy]

Is it me or does Beryl looks to be a NNW motion?

I was kinda scratching my head thinking the same thing.

I was kinda scratching my head thinking the same thing.

I mean after looking at the radar earlier, it looks almost due north but probably not

 

[Brick Tamland]

That's what I was talking about.

Recon data.

First, a line of format and a line of sample data, followed by what MMM and KKK stand for in the line.

MMM: Peak 10-second average wind speed occurring within the encoding interval, in kt. G-9/// indicates missing value.

Now recent data.

I presume they're at the eye, but

 

[Belle Lechat]

Eye transfer from S to N where there is lightning?

 

[Snowfan]

Eye transfer from S to N where there is lightning?

There’s no eye anymore. Microwave imagery shows the inner core disrupted

Anyone can answer, but how else to explain the difference of wind speeds aloft and at the surface (calm) but as a leaning eye?

That’s the center.

Recon shows the center offshore.

Southwesterly shear tilting the system.

 

[Belle Lechat]

That’s the center.

So an eyewall isn't needed to achieve the calm at the center.

Yes, that's what I was trying to say by leaning.

 

[Belle Lechat]

The lowest extrapolated surface pressure they read there.
