Tropical Storm Cristobal Weakens Over Atlantic

Tropical Storm Cristobal, situated over the central subtropical Atlantic, is anticipated to dissipate by late Thursday or early Friday. The storm's visual appearance from satellites has diminished significantly. As of Wednesday, Cristobal was approximately 880 miles west of the Azores, with maximum sustained winds recorded at 45 miles per hour.

The storm is forecast to shift northeastward and decelerate into Thursday. This movement will occur along the southwestern edge of the northern Atlantic ridge. During this period, Cristobal is expected to weaken progressively before ultimately dissipating later in the week.
