'''Hurricane Shary''' was a short-lived ] that stayed over open waters 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 impacted the storm, 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 along the southern ] of a ] in association with a broad ] east-northeast of ].<ref name="TCR">{{cite web|url=http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/pdf/TCR-AL202010_Shary.pdf|publisher=National Hurricane Center|author=Lixion A.

Steered toward the northwest between the upper low and a mid-level ] to its northeast, Shary's storm cloud patterns became less distorted while the storm continued to separate from the upper low. Although the center remained partially exposed, convection steadily deepened within the western ] during the next morning.<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, as the upper low dropped to the south, northerly ] subsequently increased over the system, shifting the inner-core convective mass south of the center. Following a significant decrease in forward speed, dry air began to wrap into the eastern and northeastern ]s of the storm, resulting in some convective erosion in those areas.<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 re-curved to the north, expected to only restrengthen 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 the eastern ] 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 amplified and deepened symmetrically near the center, supported by the development of a small ] noted 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 specialists described as a case of a small hurricane that would not have been observed before the availability 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 gradually lost 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 hours, rapid interaction with the front began to occur, suggesting the storm was 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.<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> Later that day, the extratropical remnants of Hurricane Shary were completely absorbed by the same neighboring system.<ref name="TCR" />

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; several football cancellations were made as a result.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://bernews.com/2010/10/causeway-to-close-at-7pm-tonight/|title=Causeway To Close at 7pm Tonight|date=October 29, 2010|publisher=Bernews|author=Staff Writer|accessdate=January 23, 2011}}</ref> 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.
