Tropical Storm Cristobal, Dolly and another wave



Tropical Storm Cristobal is moving northeastward away from the Outer Banks. Right now this storm is about 110 miles northeast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. Cristobal has maximum sustained wind of about 50 mph, a minimum central pressure of 1004 mb and is moving northeast near 13 mph. This storm will bring increased rip currents to our beaches on Delmarva.

Tropical Storm Dolly is moving off the Northern Yucatan Peninsula. Dolly is moving northwest at about 15 mph, with maximum sustained winds near 50 mph, with a minimum central pressure of 1008 mb. This storm is expected to strengthen and make a second Mexican landfall.



We will also be monitoring a new tropical wave, still on the coast of Africa. Still to soon to say much about this wave, but it does have potential for further development once it moves completely off land and over water.
