PT · Published Aug 13, 2026
Tropical Storm Cristobal has been downgraded to a tropical depression as of Thursday morning, according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC).
The system is currently located approximately 610 miles west of the Azores and is moving northeast at 16 mph.

Impact & Risks

The downgraded tropical depression poses minimal risks as it remains far from land, approximately 610 miles west of the Azores. With no coastal watches or warnings in effect, the system is not expected to impact populated areas. However, mariners in the vicinity should remain cautious due to residual rough seas and gusty winds. The NHC's monitoring of two additional systems in the Atlantic suggests potential future developments that may require attention.
