'''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 periphery 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 as it 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" />
