We are seeing some isolated showers and thunderstorms develop across the metro area this afternoon, as well as southshore locations. Expect these isolated to last 30 minutes to an hour, possibly providing heavy downpours.

A couple of tropical updates... Tropical Storm Cristobal has formed off the coast of the Carolinas and will continue to affect coastal mid-atlantic states as well as portions of the northeastern United States.

We are also watching an area of thunderstorms in the Caribbean Sea. Currently it is NOT an organized tropical system. However, it does have the potential to develop into tropical depression #4, and then possibly affect the Yucatan Peninsula. Some computer models have the storm developing into at least a minimal hurricane. However, some computer models have it crossing the lower Yucatan Peninsula as a tropical storm.

It's a good idea to review your hurricane evacuation plans before every hurricane season.
