Tropics are Once Again Quiet

Beryl has now dissipated and the rest of the tropics remain quiet. Water temperatures in the Gulf are warming up but eastern Atlantic sea surface temperatures remain cooler than average. Strong wind shear in the western Atlantic and Caribbean keep any tropical waves from organizing as they race off to the west. Any tropical formation looks unlikely for the next several days as wind shear remains strong in development areas.

Beryl Now a Subtropical Storm

Beryl is now a subtropical storm with 40 mph winds. It has become embedded in an upper low which is holding it over the warm Gulf Stream waters. The low may hold Beryl over the warm waters a little longer, delaying its weakening into a remnant low.

Once it slowly moves northeast over the colder Atlantic waters it will weaken into a remnant low. What is left of Beryl heads toward Newfoundland on Tuesday.
