With the shorter LF's, I don't seem to be getting my Marine Forecast or Almanac anymore. Anyone else notice this? The graphics were so good on the IS2, and I'll be sad if I can't see them anymore.

Same here, but we never had a marine forecast here since I had the Farmingdale IS2. I don't know why they didn't have it on the Islip IS2.

IMO, even though it's "Sub-tropical", it's one of the most non-tropical looking storms I've ever seen. Looks like a nor'easter actually. I check some of the model runs, the GFS showed that Beryl had a cold core of circulation.    Anyway, you guys should stay safe, the winds shouldn't be the problem, more so the rain and flooding.

A subtropical storm means that it has some characteristics of a tropical storm, but it's more a hybrid between a tropical cyclone and an extratropical (non-tropical) cyclone.  You'll still see a cold core in its circulation until it's able to develop a warm core to complete tropical transition.

I knew what a sub-tropical storm was. I was just saying that it didn't look like one. It may take a while before it develops into a true tropical cyclone. It will most likely move away from it's main moisture source and intake which appears to be the cold front it has and then develop directly using the Gulf Stream; from there it probably will transition into a warm core.

... Dense fog advisory in effect until 10 am EDT this morning...

The National Weather Service in Upton has issued a dense fog
advisory... which is in effect until 10 am EDT this morning.

* Locations... Long Island... especially near shorelines.

* Hazards... dense fog.

* Visibilities... one quarter mile or less at times.

* Timing... until 10 am this morning.

* Impacts... very poor visibility.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A dense fog advisory means visibilities will frequently be
reduced to one quarter mile or less. If driving... slow down... use
your low beam headlights... and leave plenty of distance ahead of
you in case a sudden stop is needed.

Since development is starting earlier and earlier by the years, maybe the hurricane ppl should move the Atlantic season start from June 1st to may 1st or somewhere in between

I don't think that's likely to happen. The only reason why this season started early was because of favorable upper level environments, (except the fact that there's been a lot shear). SST's are just slightly above average in the Caribbean. In Dr. Jeff Masters' Wunderblog, he said that it's more likely that this early season start is because of favorable environments. IMO, there's not enough support to push the season start day back a whole month.
