Tropical Storm Cristobal develops far west of the Azores as Pacific system nears Hawaii
A new tropical storm named Cristobal formed in the Atlantic well west of the Azores and is expected to weaken by Thursday, while a separate system in the Pacific could intensify before reaching the Hawaiian Islands.
Meteorologists reported that Cristobal emerged in the Atlantic Ocean far from the Azores and currently poses no threat to coastlines, with forecasts calling for its dissipation by Thursday. No coastal watches or warnings have been issued. In the Pacific, the National Hurricane Center began tracking Potential Tropical Cyclone One-C, situated roughly 1,000 miles east-southeast of Hawaii. Officials anticipate that the system will strengthen and approach the islands by late Friday.
Why it matters
These developing storms could affect maritime activities and pose future weather risks for the Atlantic and Hawaiian regions.
