'''Hurricane Shary''' was a short-lived ] that stayed at sea in late October 2010. The eighteenth named storm and eleventh hurricane of the unusually active ], Shary originated from a weak area of ] associated with an upper-level and surface ] over the ]. Initially not expected to exceed winds of 50 mph (85 km/h), Shary defied predictions and became a minimal hurricane on October 30, as it passed well east of ]. Unfavorable conditions subsequently took effect, and Shary quickly began to lose tropical characteristics. Later that day, Shary degenerated into a ], and the final advisory by the ] was issued. The storm brushed Bermuda with light rain, and wind gusts reached no more than 35 mph (55 km/h) as it made its closest point of approach to the territory.

In late October, the ] (NHC) began to monitor a weak area of disorganized weather in association with a deep-layered ] located northeast of the northern ]. Supported by an ] retrograding to its southwest, the system generated clusters of scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms, otherwise known as ].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/text/TWDAT/TWDAT.201010271755.txt|title=Tropical Weather Discussion|date=October 27, 2010|accessdate=November 8, 2010|publisher=National Hurricane Center|author=Pasch/Kimberlain}}</ref> This convection gradually enhanced, as environmental conditions within its encounter became more favorable over time.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/text/TWDAT/TWDAT.201010280553.txt|title=Tropical Weather Discussion|date=October 28, 2010|accessdate=November 8, 2010|publisher=National Hurricane Center|author=Blake/Brown}}</ref> Around 1600&nbsp;] October&nbsp;28, ] showed what appeared to be the formation of a ] within the trough. Shower and thunderstorm activity accordingly intensified, and the NHC assessed a high chance for tropical or ] ].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/gtwo/atl/201010280546/index.php?basin=atl&current_issuance=201010280546|title=Graphical Tropical Weather Outlook|date=October 28, 2010|accessdate=October 30, 2010|publisher=National Hurricane Center|author=Blake/Brown}}</ref> At the time, the center of circulation remained poor; however, it became better defined later that day, with a stable amount of corresponding convection.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/gtwo/atl/201010282347/index.php?basin=atl&current_issuance=201010282347|title=Graphical Tropical Weather Outlook|date=October 28, 2010|accessdate=October 30, 2010|publisher=National Hurricane Center|author=Brown/Berg}}</ref> In addition, a ] reported peak winds of 38&nbsp;mph (61&nbsp;km/h) at both&nbsp;0000 UTC and 0200&nbsp;UTC the next day. Although the upper low had remained adjacent, it was located well to the southwest of the considerably small associated ] — not quite a subtropical structure.<ref name=discuss001>{{cite web|author=Brown/Berg|publisher=National Hurricane Center|date=October 29, 2010|accessdate=October 30, 2010|title=Tropical Storm Shary Discussion One|url=http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2010/al20/al202010.discus.001.shtml?}}</ref> The system was therefore designated as Tropical Storm ''Shary'' about 350&nbsp;mi (565&nbsp;km) south of ], steered toward the northwest between the upper low and a mid-level ] to its northeast.<ref name=public001 /> The NHC also noted that Shary would be a relatively short-lived tropical cyclone due to a forecast merge with a ] in a day or two.<ref name=discuss001 />

During the morning, storm cloud patterns became less distorted as Shary continued to separate from the upper low. Although the center remained partially exposed, convection steadily deepened within the western ] over the next hours.<ref name=discuss002>{{cite web|author=Blake/Brennan|publisher=National Hurricane Center|date=October 29, 2010|accessdate=October 30, 2010|title=Tropical Storm Shary Discussion Two|url=http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2010/al20/al202010.discus.002.shtml?}}</ref> However, northerly ] subsequently increased over the system due to the relocation of the upper low, shifting the inner-core convection south of the center and causing a considerable decrease in forward speed. Additionally, dry air began to wrap into the eastern and northeastern ]s, resulting in some convective erosion and intensification halting.<ref name=discuss003>{{cite web|author=Stacy Stewart|publisher=National Hurricane Center|date=October 29, 2010|accessdate=October 30, 2010|title=Tropical Storm Shary Discussion Three|url=http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2010/al20/al202010.discus.003.shtml?}}</ref> As the upper low retained little to no further influence, the storm gradually re-curved to the north, expected to only strengthen slightly in response to marginally improving conditions aloft. However, several ] showed Shary becoming a hurricane within 36 hours, which at the time the NHC regarded as "highly unlikely given the very strong shear and cool ]s forecast at that time."<ref name=discuss002 /><ref name=discuss003 /> Nevertheless, data from a ] flight revealed a drop in minimum central pressure and an increase in maximum wind speeds; convection re-fired later that day, quickly expanding over eastern portions of the cyclone.<ref>{{cite web|author=Roberts/Brown|publisher=National Hurricane Center|date=October 29, 2010|accessdate=October 30, 2010|title=Tropical Storm Shary Discussion Five|url=http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2010/al20/al202010.discus.005.shtml?}}</ref> During the overnight hours, convective activity further grew and deepened symmetrically near the center, supported by the development of a small ] on microwave images. Although ] were far from supporting such intensity, the system was upgraded to a ] on October&nbsp;30 with winds set at 75&nbsp;mph (120&nbsp;km/h) — a case which the NHC described as a case of a small hurricane that would not have been observed before the invention of microwave satellite imagery. Upon reaching this intensity, Shary was entrenched in a deep, southwesterly mid-latitude ], resulting in an accelerated motion toward the northeast.<ref>{{cite web|author=Eric Blake|publisher=National Hurricane Center|date=October 30, 2010|accessdate=October 30, 2010|title=Hurricane Shary Discussion Six|url=http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2010/al20/al202010.discus.006.shtml?}}</ref>

Located just to the east of a strong ], the minimal hurricane continued to speed over progressively cooler waters. Correspondingly, Shary began to lose its convective symmetry, though the small eye remained distinguishable in additional microwave observation.<ref>{{cite web|author=John Cangialosi|publisher=National Hurricane Center|date=October 30, 2010|accessdate=October 30, 2010|title=Hurricane Shary Discussion Seven|url=http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2010/al20/al202010.discus.007.shtml?}}</ref> Within moments, rapid interaction with the front began to take place, suggesting the system was finally entering an ]. Subsequent data from cyclone ] indicated Shary had become post-tropical about 530&nbsp;miles (885&nbsp;km) south-southeast of ], and the NHC discontinued advisories. Early on October&nbsp;31, the extratropical remnants of Hurricane Shary were completely absorbed by the same neighboring system.<ref>{{cite web|author=John Cangialosi|publisher=National Hurricane Center|date=October 30, 2010|accessdate=October 30, 2010|title=Tropical Storm Shary Discussion Eight|url=http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2010/al20/al202010.discus.008.shtml?}}</ref>

== Preparations and impact ==
Immediately following the first advisory on Tropical Storm Shary on October&nbsp;28, the ] issued a ] for the entire island.<ref name=public001>{{cite web|author=Brown/Berg|publisher=National Hurricane Center|date=October 29, 2010|accessdate=October 30, 2010|title=Tropical Storm Shary Public Advisory One|url=http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2010/al20/al202010.public.001.shtml?}}</ref> In response to the presence of Shary, ] canceled flights from the ] to Bermuda. ], a low-lying bridge that connects ] to the mainland, was to be shut down at 7:00&nbsp;p.m. local time on October&nbsp;29. Ferry service between ] and ] was temporarily suspended.<ref>{{cite web|author=Staff Writer|publisher=Go Jamaica|date=October 29, 2010|accessdate=October 30, 2010|title=Flights and ferry service canceled as Tropical Storm Shary heads for Bermuda|url=http://www.webcitation.org/5ts1JCvgG}}</ref> Residents were also urged to secure their boats as a safety precaution.<ref>{{cite web|author=Elizabeth Roberts|publisher=The Houston Chronicle|date=October 29, 2010|accessdate=October 30, 2010|title=Tropical Storm Shary approaches Bermuda|url=http://www.webcitation.org/5ts1Tg2l2}}</ref> The tropical storm warning was later canceled during the evening of October&nbsp;29 as Shary no longer posed a threat to Bermuda.<ref>{{cite web|author=Roberts/Brown|publisher=National Hurricane Center|date=October 29, 2010|accessdate=October 30, 2010|title=Tropical Storm Shary Public Advisory Five|url=http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2010/al20/al202010.public.005.shtml?}}</ref>
Since Shary turned away from Bermuda before directly striking the island, its effects were limited. Only {{convert|0.54|in|mm|abbr=on}} of rain fell during the storm's passage and winds gusted to 35&nbsp;mph (55&nbsp;km/h).<ref>{{cite web|publisher=Bermuda Weather Service|date=October 30, 2010|accessdate=October 30, 2010|title=Daily Climatology Written Summary: October 1, 2010 to October 29, 2010|url=http://www.webcitation.org/5ts0XUxXr}}</ref>
