Tropical Storm Cristobal is just off the east coast of Florida. Tornado warning and heavy rains are pelting the Miami area from its outer bands.

Path seems to be uncertain, but the surf is sure up on Florida's Atlantic coast tonight! All Floridians need to be alert.

You need to update your tracking map.

Uhh....is that map wrong? Not to doubt you, but it looks like Nova Scotia is in the target zone to me.

Geez, I'm glad you said that; I was reading the map BACKWARDS. I thought it came from Halifax!

Here's another perspective, with Tropical Storm Cristobal on the Fla. east coast and TD Bertha emerging back into the gulf off Lousiana.

Folks, this storm is essentially splitting......

The part near Florida won't be a big deal unless it can develop a new center.

OK......the reason why there is a discrepency here is that part of the storm....the part they are using on the tracking map, is going to head off to the northeast. This is the part that actually has a good tropical center for the storm. However, teh part with the bundle of clouds is actually moving southwest toward Florida. It has a weaker center and unless it can form a new one, it won't be a big deal for Florida. If it can develop a new center that is fairly strong, it could strengthen into a decent tropical storm and perhaps minor hurricane, but that is questionable.

Nope. The LLC is now south of 30 N and will escape the trof. It will continue to drift S or SW or SE. Nice try.
