Description: Meteorologists are closely monitoring multiple systems in the Atlantic, with one eastern wave showing a 70% chance of developing into the next named storm—Cristobal. Despite the heightened activity, hostile weather conditions and Saharan dust are expected to limit storm strength, and forecasters say none of the current systems pose a threat to South Florida.
