Tropical Storm Cristobal may threaten the U.S., but there’s a lot of uncertainty
Tropical Storm Cristobal—the third named storm on only the second official day of the Atlantic hurricane season—formed in the Gulf of Mexico Tuesday, the National Hurricane Center said, with the forecast track calling for the storm to strengthen over the next week and move toward the U.S. Gulf Coast.
Even though Tuesday is only the second official day of hurricane season, it follows two storms that already formed in May, making 2020 a sixth consecutive year that’s seen a pre-season storm, with both Tropical Storm Arthur and Tropical Storm Bertha having impacts on the U.S. East Coast.The fast start to hurricane season seems to go along with forecasts that say 2020’s going to havestorm activity.
