Meteorological Analysis
|
Beryl originated from a tropical wave which left the coast of Africa on August
3rd. The wave split as it crossed the Atlantic, with the southern part going on to
become Beryl. The wave raised little suspicion until it reached the Yucatan on
August 12th however. Convection began to organize with the wave at this
point and a circulation formed. When the surface circulation moved over the
Gulf of Mexico on the 13th the system gained enough organization to be
considered a tropical depression. The depression strengthened into tropical
storm Beryl on the 14th, and Beryl reached its max intensity of 50 mph the
same day. Beryl then continued WNW and made landfall on the Mexican coast
about 90 nm south of Brownsville, Texas on the 15th as a disorganized tropical
storm. Beryl dissipated over the Mexican mountains later that day.
