Re: TS Dolly Heads Toward Cozumel, Cristobal Drifts NE, Bertha Now Extratropical

RE Cristobal: I mentioned this upon Cristobal's designation that nearby continental dry air mass may become a hindrance should Cristobal attempt to strengthen. NHC believes that to have been the case. In the earlier stages of this system's development, it's circulation field was not as expansive... But as that took place, the dry air at low and mid levels was ingested and that has prevented this system from sustaining deep convection.
