Tropical Storm Cristobal Emerges as Another System Develops Nearby

Buzzline

On Wednesday, Tropical Storm Cristobal emerged in the northern Atlantic, marking the third officially named storm of the 2026 hurricane season. Meteorologists indicate that it does not threaten land as it progresses northeastward away from the U.S. With maximum sustained winds reaching 45 mph, Cristobal is situated approximately 1,000 miles northeast of Bermuda and is forecasted to diminish rapidly. Meanwhile, attention shifts to Invest 92L, a tropical wave close to Cabo Verde, with an 80 percent likelihood of developing into a depression in the coming days as it heads toward the Caribbean. Should it be classified as a named storm, it will be designated Dolly, becoming the fourth named storm in what has so far been a relatively calm Atlantic season.
