Tropical Storm Cristobal Advisory 20

Tropical Storm Cristobal Advisory #20<span-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#001277"> <span-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#001277">
Valid: 04:00 PM EDT Sunday August 24, 2014

<span-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">

<span-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">

Current Position: <span-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">24.4N, 72.9W
Geographical Reference: Near the southeast Bahamas
Movement: North-northwest at 8 kts
Organization Trend: Steady
Our Estimated Maximum Winds: 40 kts gusting to 50 kts
Latest National Hurricane Center Maximum Winds: 45 gusting to 50 kts
Current Hurricane Severity Index: 3 (1 size / 2 intensity)
Max Forecast Hurricane Severity Index: 12 (5 size / 7 intensity)
Peak Forecast Radius of Tropical Storm Force Winds: 115 NM
Forecast Confidence: Below Average

<span-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Changes From Our Previous Forecast <span-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">
The center was relocated a little to the north. The first 3 days of the track forecast were shifted eastward.

Our Forecast <span-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">
Data from a reconnaissance plane currently investigating Cristobal has caused a relocation of the low-level center to the north. This has resulted in an eastward shift of the track for the first 3 days of the forecast. Cristobal is now expected to pass a little over 261 NM from the coast of southeastern Florida. The remainder of the forecast track remains the same with Cristobal turning northeastward on Wednesday then accelerating to the east-northeast.

<span-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Strengthening is expected over the next few days, and Cristobal could become a hurricane on Tuesday. There are some factors working against Cristobal. Some upper-level wind shear and interaction with a frontal system to the north will likely limit intensification some. Still, Cristobal will likely peak with maximum sustained winds near 80 kts in about 4 days, followed by a weakening trend.

<span-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Expected Impacts on land <span-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">
Hispaniola: A few heavy squalls remain possible through today, with localized flooding expected.

Bahamas: <span-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Occasional heavy squalls and gusts up to tropical storm force are likely across the southern and central Bahamas through tomorrow and possibly in the northern Bahamas beginning tomorrow afternoon and continuing through early Wednesday.

<span-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Expected impacts Offshore <span-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">
Bahamas area: Through Tuesday, tropical storm force winds are likely within 80 NM west of the center.

<span-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Our next advisory will be issued by 10 PM EDT (9 PM CDT).
