Hurricane Beryl

[DoctorMu]

I'm on computer and phone...but that eye looks like it's headed for Surfside Beach. Am I wrong??

Eye wall developing on radar.

I think the eye contracting is causing the appearance of a NNE movement. Recon should pass through here shortly and we will know

[srainhoutx]

Hmmm. AF301 made an unexpected 5th pass. Almost looks like a due n fix but not ready to call it a change in heading. NOAA mission has a different fix just to the w.

Beginning to look like it's directional change in heading. If so this is about 4 hrs earlier than expected.

Yeah, I believe the N to NNE shift is occurring. Next pass should confirm. AF C130 enroute from Biloxi. We should have continual RECON til landfall now.

Don, that eye is tightening. And if Beryl has stopped gaining longitude, she's landing east (north) of Sargent.

The 0Z HRRR slows Beryl down more once it makes landfall.Shows a longer duration of high wind gust over the area.Also QPF amounts below.

Timmer noticed this some minutes ago.

If the NE motion is starting lookout Galveston, Boliver and Beaumont!

Assuming Beryl is on a northerly course, that appears to be eye is too far west on HRRR.

Looking like Freeport or a little east@ Cat 1. She running out of time ,which is a good thing. Hurricane models still say she will be strenghing until landfall, I just don't think so . I though at this point she will be a cat 1 already but she still struggling.

Oh my

Latest recon

[don]

Beryl may get an upgrade to a hurricane soon 69 Knot flight level winds found...

[txbear]

Sargent to Surfside looks like it. Due north to my untrained eyes. With what y’all are saying about the early turn, perhaps even further east than surfside?

[srainhoutx]

Looks like Beryl is back to a Hurricane. A couple of more passes should confirm NNE motion.

[Rip76]

Man these things love to ride the coastline.

Friction?

[biggerbyte]

We will need official confirmation of any easterly component. Many times certain behavior can give an illusion of movement in a particular direction..

[don]

The eyewall is starting to show on local radar, and the rainshield is moving inland now into Matagorda and Brazoria counties.
