'''Hurricane Shary''' was a short-lived ] that stayed over the open waters of the North Atlantic in late October 2010. The eighteenth named storm and eleventh hurricane of the unusually active ], Shary originated from a weak area of ] over the Central Atlantic and became a tropical storm on October 28. Initially not expected to exceed wind speeds of 50 mph (85 km/h), Shary defied predictions and became a minimal hurricane on October 30, passing 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.

Steered northwestward between the upper low and a mid-level ] to its northeast, Shary's cloud pattern became less distorted as it continued to separate itself from the upper low.

Following a significant decrease in Shary's forward speed, dry air began to wrap into the eastern and northeastern quadrants of the storm, resulting in some convective erosion.<ref name=discuss003>{{cite web|author=Stacy Stewart|publisher=National Hurricane Center|date=October 29, 2010|access-date=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 restrengthen only 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".<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 side of the cyclone.<ref>{{cite web|author=Roberts/Brown|publisher=National Hurricane Center|date=October 29, 2010|access-date=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, thunderstorm activity further amplified and deepened symmetrically near the center, supported by the development of a small ] as noted on microwave images. Although ] were far from supporting such an intensity, the system was upgraded to a ] with winds of 75&nbsp;mph (120&nbsp;km/h) on October&nbsp;30 — an occurrence 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|access-date=October 30, 2010|title=Hurricane Shary Discussion Six|url=http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2010/al20/al202010.discus.006.shtml?}}</ref>

Located just east of a strong ], the minimal hurricane continued to speed over progressively cooler waters.
