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.

This week is National hurricane awareness week. It is time for you
to prepare for the 2012 hurricane season. The Atlantic hurricane
season begins each year on June 1st and ends November 30th. Being
prepared can make a big difference in your ability to Cope when a
storm threatens.

Today's topic is storm surge and marine safety.

Long period swell from a distant hurricane can create high surf and
dangerous rip currents along the coast well ahead of landfall. When
the hurricane is about a day away from making landfall the cyclones
wind field starts to affect the coast. At this time beach erosion
starts to occur as both winds and waves start increasing.

Storm surge is an abnormal rise of water generated by a storm and
independent of the predicted astronomical tides. Storm tide is the
total water level rise... a combination of storm surge and the
astronomical tide. The rise in water level can cause extreme
flooding in coastal areas. If the storm surge arrives at the same
time as the high tide... the water height will be even
greater... reaching 20 feet or higher.

Storm surge is produced by water being pushed toward shore by the
force of the winds moving cyclonically around the storm. The impact
on surge of the low pressure associated with intense storms is
minimal in comparison to the water being pushed toward shore by the
wind. Adding to the destructive power of the surge... battering waves
can increase damage to property at the coast. Along the immediate
coast storm surge is the greatest threat to life and property.

The storm tide is highest on the side of the storm circulation where
the wind is blowing toward the coast. Surge is highest closer to the
eye... where the wind is strongest.

In confined harbors... the combination of storm tides... waves... and
currents can severely damage marinas and boats. When a tropical
storm or Hurricane Watch is issued... marine interests should
immediately take all possible precautions to either move their
boats to safety or take all possible steps to secure them.
