Post-Tropical Cyclone Cristobal Discussion Number 5
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL032026
300 PM GMT Thu Aug 13 2026

Cristobal is entrenched in a hostile environment, with cool SSTs,
strong northerly vertical wind shear and dry mid-level air.
Organized convection has been absent since around 21-22z yesterday
and all that remains is remnant low devoid of convection. The
initial intensity is set at 25 kt for this advisory.

The remnant low will continue moving rapidly northeastward to
east-northeastward today before the remnant low becomes absorbed
into the broader flow associated with a deepening upper-level low
over Atlantic Canada. This is the last advisory issued by the
National Hurricane Center on this system.

Tropical Depression Cristobal Discussion Number 4
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL032026
900 AM GMT Thu Aug 13 2026

Recent OSCAT data showed that Cristobal has weaken to a tropical
depression with max winds around 30 kt. The cyclone continues to
have a lack of deep convection based on satellite images. The most
current TAFB intensity estimates with a Final T number of 1.5 and
maximum winds of 30 kt. As a result, the initial intensity has
been brought down to 30 kt for this advisory.

Based on the increasingly harsh environmental conditions that the
storm is entering as well as the latest model guidance, Cristobal is
expected to continue weakening, and it is unlikely that convection
will make a comeback. Thus, the NHC forecast now calls for
Cristobal to become a remnant low within the next 12 h, with
dissipation following soon after.

The current motion estimate is east-northeastward, or 075/14 kt.
The cyclone is expected to turn a bit more northeastward over the
next 12 h, and barely any changes have been made to the previous NHC
track prediction.

Tropical Storm Cristobal Discussion Number 3
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL032026
300 AM GMT Thu Aug 13 2026

Cool sea-surface temperatures and north-northwesterly shear are
taking their toll on Cristobal. Satellite images show that the
cyclone has become completely devoid of deep convection. The latest
intensity estimates from TAFB, as well as the latest DPRINT and
DMINT estimates, are near 30 kt, although some of the other
objective estimates were still a bit higher. The initial intensity
is brought down to 35 kt for this advisory, as a compromise of the
data.

Based on the increasingly harsh environmental conditions that the
storm is entering as well as the latest model guidance, Cristobal is
expected to continue weakening, and it is unlikely that convection
will make a comeback. Therefore, the NHC forecast now calls for
Cristobal to become a remnant low within the next 12 h.

The current motion estimate is east-northeastward, or 075/14 kt.
The cyclone is expected to turn a bit more northeastward over the
next 12 h, and very little change has been made to the previous NHC
track prediction.

Tropical Storm Cristobal Discussion Number 2
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL032026
900 PM GMT Wed Aug 12 2026

The satellite presentation of Cristobal has continued to degrade
today. Approximately 15-20 kt of west-northwesterly shear is
displacing the slowly diminishing convection to the south and east
of the now completely exposed center. Objective and subjective
intensity estimates span a wide range, from 27-47 kt. The initial
intensity of 40 kt is maintained for this advisory, placing some
weight on the earlier ASCAT data.

Cristobal is moving eastward at around 090/18 kt, steered by a ridge
over the north-central Atlantic to the northeast of the storm and a
subtropical ridge to the south. The cyclone is expected to turn
northeastward and gradually slow down tonight into Thursday as it
moves along the southwestern periphery of the northern Atlantic
ridge. Cristobal will move over progressively cooler waters while
encountering drier mid-level air and strong northerly wind shear.
These increasingly hostile environmental conditions should result in
slow, steady weakening over the next day or so, with dissipation
expected Thursday night or Friday morning. The official NHC track
and intensity forecasts remain near the middle of the consensus
guidance and are closest to the HCCA solution.

Tropical Storm Cristobal Discussion Number 1
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL032026
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.
