Only Set to make TS strength and that if it's lucky!. ECM once progged this to be a hurricane but nothing remotely supports this any more and a gradual featurette of the east coast looks likely before it's picked up by a much large set up.

OVER THE PAST SEVERAL HOURS...CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH THE AREA OF

LOW PRESSURE OFF THE GEORGIA COAST HAS BECOME MORE CONCENTRATED

WITH AMPLE MID-LEVEL ROTATION. PERSISTENT NORTHWESTERLY WINDS FROM

A SKIDAWAY INSTITUTE OF OCEANOGRAPHY 50 METER TOWER A SHORT

DISTANCE WEST OF THE MAIN AREA OF CONVECTION INDICATE THAT THE

CIRCULATION HAS BECOME BETTER DEFINED SINCE THIS AFTERNOON.

CONSEQUENTLY...ADVISORIES ARE INITIATED ON TROPICAL DEPRESSION

THREE. THERE ARE NO INDICATIONS...EITHER FROM COASTAL RADAR OR

SURFACE OBSERVATIONS...THAT THE SYSTEM HAS ACQUIRED MUCH IN THE WAY

OF STRONG WINDS YET...AND THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS SET AT 25 KT.

THE INITIAL MOTION IS ESTIMATED TO BE 040/5. STEERING CURRENTS ARE

WEAK...WITH THE DEPRESSION SITTING BETWEEN A MID-LEVEL RIDGE EAST

OF THE BAHAMAS AND A WEAKER ONE OVER THE TENNESSEE VALLEY. MODEL

GUIDANCE IS IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT THAT A SLOW NORTHEASTWARD

MOTION WILL CONTINUE...VERY CLOSE TO THE COAST OF THE CAROLINAS...

FOR THE NEXT DAY OR TWO...WITH A GRADUAL ACCELERATION INTO THE

WESTERLIES BEFORE THE SYSTEM BECOMES ABSORBED BY THE NEXT

MID-LATITUDE SHORT WAVE. THE OFFICIAL FORECAST IS NEAR THE

CONSENSUS OF THE TIGHTLY PACKED GUIDANCE...ALTHOUGH I'LL NOTE THAT

BOTH THE GFDL AND HWRF HAVE TRACKS THAT ESSENTIALLY STRADDLE THE

COASTLINE. BECAUSE THE FORECAST TRACK IS NEARLY PARALLEL TO THE

ORIENTATION OF THE COASTLINE...IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PINPOINT A

POSSIBLE LANDFALL LOCATION AT THIS TIME.

THE ENVIRONMENT DOES NOT SEEM CONDUCIVE TO RAPID DEVELOPMENT. THE

UPPER-LEVEL WINDS ARE SOMEWHAT DIVERGENT...BUT THERE IS A LOT OF

DRY AIR NEARBY OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES. EXCEPT FOR THE

CLIMATOLOGY AND PERSISTENCE MODEL SHIFOR...NONE OF THE INTENSITY

GUIDANCE MAKES THE SYSTEM A TROPICAL STORM. HOWEVER...THE SHIPS

FORECAST SEEMS TO BE BASED ON SSTS THAT LOOK AT LEAST 1C COOLER

THAN WHAT THE COASTAL BUOYS ARE REPORTING RIGHT NOW...SO I'M GOING

TO GO A LITTLE ABOVE THAT GUIDANCE AND SHOW JUST ENOUGH

STRENGTHENING TO MAKE THE SYSTEM A TROPICAL STORM. THE FORECAST

TRACK AND INTENSITIES REQUIRE THE ISSUANCE OF TROPICAL STORM

WATCHES AND WARNINGS.

FORECAST POSITIONS AND MAX WINDS

Center is on the northern side of the convection and every now and then seems to be getting displaced. However convection continues to build over it when that does happen so I suspect the 40kts forecast is probably pretty reasonable right now. Its got a very tight center though so if it does get a big convective burst over it, it will strengthen pretty readily IMO.

Noticed the SPC have TS Cristobal mentioned in their day 1 convective outlook forecast:

Cristobal's centre is pretty well defined but convection isn't all that deep. However, Cristobal is still expected to strengthen further and NHC predict a peak of 55kts. This isn't out of the question but the storm better get it's act together soon as strong shear lies to the north, along with a large extratropical low which is currently forecast to absorb Cristobal in 96hrs. Extratropical transition is forecast to occur before then, by 72hrs.

Christobal's LLC seems to be exposed to the north of the convection just South of Cape Lookout. Is a new circulation centre likely to form under the convection, which has blossomed overnight?

Thanks for the alerts Cookie.

Cristobal is looking better than it did earlier, with deep convection now forming closer to the centre, which was alomost entirely exposed this afternoon. Although Cristobal is over the warm waters of the gulf stream very little intensification is forecast due to dry air impinging on the circulation from the north (from inland). This is the reason Cristobal has been having problems sustaining deep convection over his centre. Cristobal is likely to be absorbed by an extartropical low to the north in a few days.

Cristobal has intensified to 55kts. The storm's track has had a more easterly component in the last few hours, further away from land so the air hasn't been quite so dry. Convection is pretty healthy over the centre and Cristobal is moving over the warm waters of the gulf stream in a low shear environment, so a little more intensification is predicted- the NHC keep Cristobal at just below hurricane strength although I reckon it has a small window of oppurtunity to become one before the storm gets caught in upper level westerlies and begins extratropical transition, currently forecast to begin in 36hrs.

Cristobal has been declared extratropical over the cold waters of the north Atlantic. Very little convection remains and this is very shallow, not typical of a tropical cyclone. The system is now cold cored, and will move generally eastwards over the next couple days until it gets absorbed by a large extratropical low.
