The strange life of once Hurricane Beryl, which was a tiny hurricane in the deep Atlantic tropics last week, continues. The low pressure system associated with the remnants of Beryl have regenerated into a subtropical storm and advisories have been initiated by the National Hurricane Center (NHC). Beryl is not likely to strengthen much, if at all, and should degenerate into a non-convective remnant low by Monday.

As of 1:00 p.m. EDT Saturday, Subtropical Storm Beryl was centered near 36.4°N 65.7°W and was moving northeastward at about 12 mph. Maximum sustained winds were 35 knots (40 mph), with an estimated minimum pressure of 1010 mb. Despite cool sea surface temperatures of 25 degrees C (77 degrees F) and fairly strong wind shear above 25 knots, interaction with an upper-level trough allowed deep convection to develop over the center. Because environmental conditions are not conducive for development, no intensification is anticipated. Beryl is likely to weaken to a subtropical depression by tomorrow and will likely degenerate into a non-convective remnant low on Monday as it moves over much cooler waters. Beryl’s remnants are not a major threat to land, though the remnants could pass near Newfoundland on Tuesday. Beryl, which was last a tropical cyclone six days ago, has one of the longest durations between dissipation and regeneration in the Atlantic basin. Ivan of 2004 holds the record, with a 6.25 day gap.
