    Tropical Storm Cristobal Discussion Number 1

    300 PM GMT Wed Aug 12 2026

    The circulation associated with the area of low pressure we have
    been monitoring well east-northeast of Bermuda over the past several
    days has become better defined today. A recent ASCAT pass revealed
    an area of 35-40 kt winds southeast of the slightly elongated and
    exposed center, within the region of convection. While the
    convective organization has degraded since earlier this morning,
    scatterometer data indicate that the system has achieved tropical
    storm status, and it likely reached that threshold earlier this
    morning. Therefore, advisories are being initiated on Tropical Storm
    Cristobal, with the initial intensity set to 40 kt.

    Cristobal is moving quickly eastward around 22 kt over marginally
    favorable sea surface temperatures near 25 C. The storm is currently
    positioned between a subtropical high to the south, and a ridge
    extending over the north-central Atlantic to the northeast. A turn
    toward the northeast, accompanied by a gradual decrease in forward
    speed, is expected later today and tonight as Cristobal moves along
    the southwestern periphery of the northern Atlantic ridge. Slow
    weakening is forecast during this period as the storm moves over
    progressively cooler waters and encounters increasingly dry
    mid-level air and stronger northerly wind shear. Cristobal is
    expected to be short-lived and dissipate on Thursday. The official
    NHC track and intensity forecasts lie near the middle of the
    consensus guidance and are closest to the HCCA solution.
