Tropical Storm Cristobal and Newly Formed Tropical Storm Dolly Updates
Hello to all…
My apologies for a late note and web posting here. Southern New England has fallen back into an active severe weather pattern and we’ve had 2 straight days of severe weather with a potential third straight day for severe weather here on Sunday. Here are some updates on Tropical Storm Cristobal off the coast of the Carolinas and newly formed Tropical Storm Dolly, which is southeast of the Yucatan Peninsula.
Tropical Storm Cristobal remains a 50 MPH Tropical Storm off the coast of the Carolinas. Cristobal is expected to stay similar in strength today followed by some strengthening on Monday but is expected to remain below hurricane strength. Cristobal is expected to graze the eastern North Carolina coast with strongest part of the storm staying offshore though some strong winds, heavy rainfall and minor coastal flooding is possible along the coasts of the Carolinas where Tropical Storm Warnings are in effect. Cristobal will then pass south and east of Nantucket Island and south and east of what is known as the “40.0 North/70 West benchmark” position and should only bring high surf and waves and perhaps a bit of rainfall to the Outer Cape and Nantucket. A couple reliable models do bring Cristobal closer to the Southeast New England coast but the current consensus is for Cristobal to remain offshore. The VoIP Hurricane Net Management team continues to closely monitor the progress of Cristobal.
Tropical Storm Dolly has formed in the Western Caribbean Sea late Sunday Morning. Dolly is expected to impact the Yucatan Peninsula and emerge off the Southern Gulf of Mexico and possibly affect Mexico or Southern Texas later this week. The current official forecast keeps Dolly below hurricane strength but the potential exists for Dolly to be a hurricane particularly after impacting the Yucatan Peninsula. The VoIP Hurricane Net Management Team will closely monitor the progress of Dolly and net activation for Dolly is possible if it reaches hurricane strength and we have stations in the affected area that can support WX4NHC with reporting from the affected area.
A brief word on Tropical Storm Bertha. Bertha is now extratropical over the North Atlantic and the last advisory was issue by the National Hurricane Center late Sunday Morning.
