Cristobal<span-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">
Disturbance 19 became Tropical Depression Four Saturday afternoon, and Tropical Storm Cristobal this morning. Cristobal is now near 23.0N, 73.4W, or about 290 miles east-southeast of Nassau, Bahamas. Movement is to the northwest at 9 mph. Maximum sustained winds are near 45 mph. We expect Cristobal to become a hurricane by Tuesday. The track forecast is starting to become more confident and has shifted to the east over the past 12 hours. There is no longer any risk to the Gulf of Mexico, and the risk to Florida is decreasing. Please see our latest advisory for more details.

Other Disturbances / Areas to Watch<span-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">
Disturbance 21 is along 33W and is moving westward at 15 mph. Although development is not expected over the next 5 days, there is about a 5 percent chance of development in 5 to 7 days when it should be located either in the Caribbean or the Bahamas.

<span-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">A frontal boundary is expected to enter the Gulf of Mexico Tuesday. Model guidance still does not indicate any tropical cyclone development along this boundary, but this is something we cannot rule out, so we'll continue to watch it closely.
