Meteorological Analysis
|
Beryl originated from a frontal system which stalled off the U.S. east coast on
the 16th. The water under the stalled front was warm, and the southwestern
end of the front organized steadily. By July 18th it had become a tropical
depression. The depression then quickly organized into Beryl. Shear was
light over Beryl, and convection persisted over the center. This allowed Beryl
to reach a max wind speed of 60 mph. Beryl was being steered on the
periphery of the Bermuda high during this time, towards the north and east.
Beryl's satellite signature then deteriorated rapidly while it was off of New York
and it weakened to about 45 mph. It made landfall in Nantucket, Massachusetts
with this intensity on the 21st of July. Beryl then continued rapidly north and
east and lost its tropical characteristics the same day.
