Tropical Weather: Tropical Storm Beryl (North Atlantic)
Weather Summary
Jessica Parker
Weather Underground Forecast for Monday, May 28, 2012.

Tropical Storm Beryl will move slowly northwestward and then turn northward over portions of northeastern Florida and southeastern Georgia

on Monday and Monday night. Strong wind and rain will continue to effect these areas up through North Carolina as Beryl moves inland, while dangerous surf conditions, including rip currents, remain a concern along the coastal areas from northeastern Florida to North Carolina. Rainfall totals of 3 to 6 inches are expected from northern Florida through southeastern North Carolina from this system. For more information on Beryl, please visit http://www.wunderground.com/tropical.

Meanwhile, to the north, the deep storm in the Dakotas will lift northeastward across the Upper Mississippi Valley with scattered showers and thunderstorms. The cold front associated with this system will extend southwestward from the low through the Southern Plains. Showers and thunderstorms will form ahead of the front from the Central and Southern Plains into the Upper Great Lakes. There is a slight risk of severe storms from Wisconsin and Michigan southwestward across portions of eastern Iowa, northern Indiana, Illinois, and northeastern Missouri. While the main concerns with storms in these areas are damaging wind gusts and large hail, a few tornadoes may also become possible. To the south, areas of south-central Oklahoma into northwestern Texas may experience hail and damaging wind gusts. To the east of this system, an associated warm front will extend through the Northeast and will become nearly stationary. Moisture overrunning this front will aid in producing showers and thunderstorms from areas of the Lower Great Lakes into the Northeast. There is a slight risk of severe storms from upstate New York into Vermont and western Massachusetts with isolated hail events.

In the west, showers will continue across parts of the Northern Intermountain West and Northern Rockies, while a cold front brings cool, cloudy and chances of showers to the Pacific Northwest.

... North Carolina hurricane awareness week for 2012...

This week has been declared North Carolina's hurricane awareness
week for 2012. All week long the National Weather Service will be
issuing informative messages to help you prepare for hurricane
season.

Each day we will cover a different topic. Today we will talk about
hurricane basics.

Hurricanes need the right ingredients in order to form. These
include warm tropical water... atmospheric moisture and light winds
aloft. When areas of disturbed weather in the atmosphere
experience these ingredients they can combine to produce tropical
storms and hurricanes with violent winds... incredible waves and
torrential rains.

Each year... an average of ten tropical storms develop over the
Atlantic Ocean... Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico.
Typically... about six of these storms will become hurricanes. In
an average three year period... the U.S. Coastline from Texas to
Maine will be struck by roughly five hurricanes. Of these
hurricanes... at least two are usually major hurricanes... with
winds in excess of 110 mph... similar to hurricane fran and Hugo.

A hurricane is a type of tropical cyclone... which is a generic
term for low pressure systems that develop over the tropics.
Tropical cyclones are classified as follows...

Tropical depressions... depressions are organized areas of low
pressure resulting in a system of clouds and thunderstorms with a
defined surface circulation. Tropical depressions are defined as
having maximum sustained winds of 38 mph or less.

Tropical storms... tropical storms are better organized systems of
strong thunderstorms with a defined area of low pressure and winds
of 39-73 mph.

Hurricanes... hurricanes are intense tropical systems with a well
defined surface circulation with maximum sustained winds of 74 mph
or greater.

Hurricanes are categorized according to the strength of their
winds. A category one storm has the lowest wind speeds... while a
category five storm has the most extreme. These are relative
terms... because lower category storms can sometimes inflict
greater damage than higher category storms... depending on where
they strike and the particular hazards they bring. For example
Tropical Storm Allison... while only a tropical storm... caused over
6 billion dollars in damage due to flooding in East Texas. Allison
was the costliest tropical storm in history. Hurricane
Floyd... which was a stronger hurricane... caused similar damage in
North Carolina on a much larger scale.
