storm Cristobal to skip North of Bermuda; No threat to U.S.

The maximum latest file from the country wide hurricane center in Miami, at five:00 A.M. EDT, notes that Cristobal is now hurricane strength with most sustained winds of 80 mph – one hundred thirty km/h, and “some strengthening is feasible at some point of the next day or so.”

Cristobal is presently transferring north at 12 mph – 19 km/h northeast with a sluggish boom in forward velocity predicted over the following forty eight hours. The typhoon is “anticipated to skip properly to the northwest of Bermuda later these days;” but, a tropical typhoon watch is in impact for the island.

The NHC also said that “Cristobal has a big wind discipline. hurricane pressure winds expand outward as much as 60 miles – ninety five kms from the center and tropical hurricane pressure winds extend outward up to 205 miles – 335 kms. Cristobal is anticipated to produce extra rainfall quantities of one to two inches over Bermuda.”

similarly the NHC indicated that “surf, swells generated via Cristobal are affecting Bermuda and portions of the U.S. east coast from principal Florida northward to North Carolina and will spread northward alongside the U.S. east coast over the following couple of days. those swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip modern conditions.”
