Aug 24: Cristobal? More like Misstobal!

Short range guidance has converged on an out to sea miss solution for Cristobal. This means that the NE upper-level trough will have more influence over its track than the high-pressure S ridge. Currently Cristobal is heading NW, just NW of Turks and Caicos Islands. He will head towards OBX for a bit before turning NE and paralleling the east coast. At this point, Bermuda needs to monitor this situation closely. Here’s the latest tropical model plot from WeatherBell Analytics:

Tropical Storm Cristobal is expected to miss the US east coast

Cristobal is expected to become quite strong so intensified surf along the beaches mid-week is pretty much a given. Listen to your authorities and respect the lifeguards with regard to swimming conditions! I’ll have a Monday-Friday outlook posted this evening. Be safe and enjoy the rest of your weekend. JC
