Tropical Storm Cristobal

TD 3

Looks like the dog will hunt. Here in Jax, we got the rain in good feeder bands, but it is pretty much moving out.

I personally thought this would be a TD before now.
 
Looks like the advisories have started and we have a tropical depression.

T.S. Watch for Hatteras and Oregon Inlet have been issued, as well as T.S. Warning for SC to Hatteras,NC.

NHC outlook predicts it reaches tropical storm strength by 8 PM Saturday.

I personally am very curious as to what this setup is doing. I'm currently on vacation in the Outer Banks, just a few miles from Oregon Inlet.

T.S. Warning extends through halfway of SC to all along the Outer Banks as of 8 AM EDT.

Looks like the depression is getting some nice spin on it per vis satellite. It seems to me that the rotation is tightening up. I'm thinking we may have a T.S. sometime later on today.
 
Good day all,

This storm name is my name "Christopher" in Spanish - LOL!

Anyway, not sure if Hattaras will get anything good as the right-side of the core may stay east of the area, given a jog left in the track doesn't happen.

The left side of the storm is generally weaker (forward motion adds to the right quadrant, takes away from the left in the N hemisphere).

I am not chasing this one. I am focusing more on some of the models for disturbance 94L which bring a major hurricane in the NW GOM by the end of next week (at least that's what models are showing).
 
Yes, we did set up the wind tower. Ended up going with 7.3 meters due to guy wire issues. We just took out the middle piece and shaved off 10 feet. That really helped the stability. None the less, we recorded several hours of wind data- nothing impressive at all but it did work very well. Always looking to test equipment when we can. Here is a link to the page where we displayed the data. Note the archive where you can view the wind data minute by minute.
