Tropical Storm Cristobal has formed from Tropical Depression Three. Currently moving southward. It is forecast to move away from land, and spin the fish mildly, but we'll watch it just in case. Steering winds aren't all that well defined right now.

As that moves outward another interesting possibility is that Berta might show up again. As it is currently moving south (very slowly) Although the chances of this happening are low, it's still worth a watch. Louisiana is getting buckets of rain. If it does move back over the gulf then I hope you folks in Texas haven't forgotten about Bertha. It could regain itself fairly fast. If it does, we'll be on it.
