MIDWAY, Fla. (WTXL) -- Hurricane Cristobal's future is fairly solidly entrenched in the Atlantic with minimal impact to any land masses.  The Category 1 storm was moving to the north-northeast at 12 mph Tuesday afternoon with highest sustained winds of 75 mph.  Tropical-storm conditions are possible in Bermuda within the next 48 hours, but the center of Cristobal is forecast to miss the island and then head out to the open North Atlantic waters later this week.

In the northern Gulf, the leftovers of a frontal system are producing clustered storms that may attempt to gain better organization south of the Louisiana Delta region.  The disturbance will generally move to the west, increasing rain chances for the upper Texas coastline this week.  Further strengthening chances are somewhat limited.

A few hundred miles east of the Lesser Antilles, a disorganized batch of moisture is moving west into the Caribbean, where conditions will cause the tropical wave to struggle to organize.  Its future chances for additional intensification are currently low.
