Is this the Next Storm in the Atlantic

Bertha is gone - so it would seem.  Is what you see to the right - the bright spot near 9N and 40W - our next storm?  If so, its name will be Cristobal.  Please note that names alternate between English and Spanish, the following being Dolly followed by Eduoard.  Again, you can click on the pics to enlarge them.


The next diagram to the right shows the model forecasts made
this afternoon at 2:00 p.m.  Please notice that there are two distinct sets of tracks, one taking the storm into South America, and the other taking it to the WNW to the northern part of the islands.  The latter set of tracks are from the more reliable models which hurricane specialists tend to rely on more heavily.  We'll have to watch the development of this system over the next couple of days, and I shall get back to you on its likely path.
