Named Storm Cristobal – 2014

Named Storm Cristobal – 2014

Tropical Storm Cristobal formed out of a Tropical Depression and is currently located in the southern Bahamas and north of Cuba. A feature of the jet stream will keep this storm well to the east of the US east coast, however, persons along the coast from Jacksonville, Florida to the North Carolina / Virginia border can expect higher than average tides, strong wave action and rip currents with some minor lowlands flooding. Cristobal may slowly intensify to low category Hurricane status by Wednesday, August 27, but since this storm will remain off the US east coast, this will be our only mention of Tropical Storm Cristobal UNLESS a completely unanticipated westerly track occurs.
