From a meteorologist\u2019s prospective, the weather maps over the next 3-4 days will be mesmerizing as a tropical storm (maximum winds 50-mph) heads due north into the Great Lakes without losing much of its tropical identity. There is a different look and feel to a tropical storm: the water droplets in the rain showers are distinctive and it feels like you\u2019re in a monsoon. There is going to be some wild weather into Wisconsin by late Tuesday with wind gusts > 60-mph perhaps stronger than when it was in the Gulf of Mexico.
Example late Tuesday evening, wind gusts 40-60 mph with temperatures in the 80s in southern Michigan? Whoa.
Cristobal will likely retain its tropical depression status perhaps through its entire trip in Wisconsin \u2014 historic track. Maps from my WeatherModels subscription service.:

Total rainfall amounts will be from 2-4\u201d up the Mississippi Valley.

The rest of the Atlantic remains quiet and nothing brewing in the Eastern or Western Pacific. The ECMWF seasonal model updated on June 5th and the number of tropical storms & hurricanes and the Accumulated Cyclone Energy remained the same. 11/5 & 80% of normal. This system is biased horribly low but it does provide some insight into how the developing La Ni\u00f1a will impact the Atlantic hurricane season. Perhaps not as busy as some are expecting \u2026
