Sub-Tropical Storm Beryl appears to be assuming more tropical-like characteristics today.

As compared to yesterday, STS Beryl is looking much more "tropical like", with deep convection now initiating very near the low level center of circulation, as shown on both animated satellite loops and, more recently, on Long Range Doppler Radar from Newport / Morehead, North Carolina.

This is in contrast with yesterday's visible satellite signature, which portrayed a comma shaped band of convection well displaced from the center of the storm, a classic characteristic feature of SUB - tropical systems.

Passive Microwave Imagery from polar orbiting satellites also reveals a much more "storm like" presentation, with the deepest convective activity appearing in more 'traditional' concentric rings about the storm's center.
