Hello everyone!

After a long and exciting evening yesterday, 96L finally closed off a center and was named TD 4. Early this morning, it earned TS status becoming Cristobal. An upper level trough is already starting to scoop up the storm and all forecasts point to a swift and painless recurve.

Here is the official NHC track. If I were to take the time to make one, it would look almost identical.

No other storms are forecast to form in the Atlantic Basin this week.

I will have another post this afternoon about the Hurricane Hype wars from an amateurs perspective.
