NHC: BERYL IS NOW A HURRICANE AND FORECAST TO INTENSIFY QUICKLY... ...EXPECTED TO BRING LIFE-THREATENING WINDS AND STORM SURGE TO THE WINDWARD ISLANDS AS A MAJOR HURRICANE 🌀

Hurricane Beryl Discussion Number 5
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL022024
500 PM AST Sat Jun 29 2024

Beryl continues to rapidly strengthen, and has now become a
hurricane. Satellite images show an expanding central dense
overcast feature, and recent microwave images indicate that a
partial eyewall has formed. This intensity estimate is in agreement
with the Dvorak estimate from TAFB of T4.0/65 kt. Beryl is a
compact tropical cyclone, with its tropical-storm-force winds
estimated to extend up to 50 n mi from the center. Both the NOAA
and Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunters are scheduled to investigate
Beryl tomorrow, and the data they collect will be very helpful in
assessing the system's structure and intensity.

Beryl continues to wobble around, but the general motion has been
westward at a quick 19 kt. A strong subtropical ridge should keep
the hurricane moving generally westward at only a slightly slower
forward speed for the next couple of days. This motion should take
Beryl across the Windward Islands late Sunday night and Monday. A
weakness in the ridge could cause Beryl to gain a little more
latitude during the early and middle portions of next week, before
turning back slightly to the left as another ridge builds to the
northwest of Beryl. The NHC track forecast is very similar to the
previous one and in fairly good agreement with the various consensus
models.

Now that Beryl has developed a compact inner core, it seems likely
that it will continue to intensify quickly since the hurricane will
remain in near ideal environmental conditions during the next day or
two. The NHC intensity forecast is again nudged upward in the short
term, and shows Beryl becoming a dangerous major hurricane prior to
it reaching the Windward Islands. Beyond a couple of days, when
Beryl is moving across the Caribbean, an increase in shear should
end the strengthening trend and induce some weakening toward the end
of the forecast period. The intensity models are coming into better
agreement on this scenario, and the NHC forecast is roughly near
the middle of the guidance envelope.

Key Messages:

1. Beryl is expected to be a dangerous major hurricane when it
reaches the Windward Islands late Sunday night or Monday,
bringing destructive hurricane-force winds and life-threatening
storm surge. Hurricane Watch and Warnings are in effect for much
of the Windward Islands.

2. Heavy rainfall and localized flooding is expected across the
Windward Islands Sunday night and Monday.

3. Interests in the central and western Caribbean should monitor the
progress of this system. Users are reminded that there is large
uncertainty at days 4 and 5 and to not focus on the specific
details of the track or intensity forecast.

Three Arrested, Firearm, Ammunition and Co***ne seized, Stolen items Recovered

A swift response by vigilant officers resulted in the arrest of three individuals and the seizure of a firearm, ammunition, and co***ne in separate incidents in the Central and Port of Spain Divisions.

On Friday, June 22nd, 2024, between 3:00 pm and 6:00 pm, officers from the Arima Intelligence/Operations Team acted on actionable intelligence in Longdenville. Responding to information, they approached a yellow upstairs and downstairs concrete structure on Asgarali Drive. Upon arrival, they observed a man on the premises with a side bag wrapped around his neck and chest.

The suspect fled upon spotting the officers' vehicle, running towards the rear of the structure near a wire fence and bamboo patch. After a brief chase, officers apprehended the suspect. A subsequent search revealed a G***k 19 firearm, eight (8) 9mm rounds of ammunition, and 52 grams of co***ne in a black bag. The suspect was arrested, cautioned, and transported to the station.

The operation was overseen by ACP Subero, Snr Supt Montrichard, Supt Guellmo, ASP Pitt, ASP Trumpet, Insp Lewis, and directly supervised by W/Sgt Ramai.

Simultaneously, in the Port of Spain Division on Friday, June 29th, 2024, between 7:30 pm and 11:30 pm, officers in the ex*****on of the POS Division Anti-Crime Plan, conducted a Roving Stop and Search Exercise in the Woodbrook Police Station District. Acting on information regarding a robbery on Ariapita Avenue, officers conducted field interviews which led to the arrest of two suspects in the vicinity of Ariapita Avenue, Murray Street, Woodbrook, and Adam Smith Square. During a search, the victim's Samsung cellphone and case were recovered.
The operation was led by ACP Brandon John, Snr Supt Thom, Supts Ramsook, and Nichols, coordinated by ASP Ramlogan, and supervised by Sgts Parris and Robert, with support from members of the Woodbrook Police Station and PC Dopwell of Woodbrook CID.

Beryl formed a bit earlier this evening, here’s the discussion #2:

Tropical Storm Beryl Discussion Number 2
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL022024
1100 PM AST Fri Jun 28 2024

Since becoming a depression earlier this afternoon, deep convection
has continued to burst with infrared satellite imagery depicting
cold cloud tops down to -80C. The center of circulation remains on
the eastern side of the deep convection, but the system is gradually
becoming better organized with banding features and better vertical
alignment. Intensity estimates have increased this cycle with
subjective Dvorak estimates of T2.0/T2.5 from SAB and TAFB,
respectively. Objective Dvorak estimates from UW-CIMSS are around
34-36 kt as well. Using a blend of these estimates, the initial
intensity for this advisory is set to 35 kt, and the depression has
strengthened into Tropical Storm Beryl. Tropical Storm Beryl is one
of only a few storms in history that have formed over the central or
eastern tropical Atlantic this early in the year.

Tropical Storm Beryl is moving westward at 16 kt, steered by a
strong subtropical ridge to the north. This should keep Beryl moving
swiftly westward to west-northwestward during the next few days,
with the model guidance remains tightly clustered as the system
moves towards the Windward Islands. There is a little more spread in
the model guidance beyond day 3, when the system nears a weakness in
the subtropical ridge. The NHC track forecast lies near the
consensus aids near the middle of the guidance envelope, and is very
similar to the previous forecast track. Based on this forecast, the
system is expected to move across the Windward Islands Sunday night
and Monday and track across the eastern and central Caribbean Sea
through the middle of next week.

Atmospheric and oceanic conditions, atypical for this time of year,
are fairly favorable for strengthening the next few days with warm
sea surface temperatures, plenty of moisture, and low vertical wind
shear. Thus, the NHC intensity forecast calls for steady
strengthening and shows the system becoming a hurricane before it
reaches the Windward Islands. The NHC intensity forecast is very
similar to the previous advisory. It should be noted that some of
the model guidance is still quite aggressive and a fair amount are
even higher than the official forecast. Some hurricane regional
models and consensus aids show the system becoming a major hurricane
prior to reaching the Windward Islands.

Key Messages:

1. Tropical Storm Beryl is expected to strengthen and be a
hurricane when it reaches the Windward Islands late Sunday night or
Monday, bringing a risk of heavy rainfall, hurricane-force winds,
and dangerous storm surge and waves.

2. Hurricane and Tropical Storm Watches will likely be required for
portions of the Windward and southern Leeward Islands early
Saturday.

3. Interests in the central and western Caribbean should monitor the
progress of this system. Users are reminded that there is large
uncertainty at days 4 and 5 and to not focus on the specific
details of the track or intensity forecast.

Shooting on Duncan Street yesterday morning

Tobago will not support the implementation of the Revenue Authority, nor will it agree to property tax. That's because Chief Secretary Farley Augustine has too many concerns and wants to meet with the Prime Minister urgently to discuss them. Meanwhile, Augustine has plans to create new grants and build more houses, as he promised that nobody will stop Tobago's progress.
