At 9 pm Monday evening, Cristobal was tracking through Arkansas with a large rain shield to the north of the center and bands of thunderstorms to the east \u2014 in the warm sector.

\"\"

Winds are probably 25-mph sustained and well away from the center so it will technically be classified as a depression and fully tropical at least through tomorrow morning and maybe afternoon. So, the question is when does it become post-tropical or become frontal in nature. That\u2019s probably somewhere around eastern Iowa or southern Wisconsin on Wednesday. The Weather Channel posted a Tweet about the potential for Cristobal\u2019s track to be unprecedented \u2014 the most North and West (together) in the past 150-years+. Of course, this needs to be a tropical designated storm to really count but I\u2019ll give the post-tropical track some credit because the winds will be howling across the Great Lakes by late Tuesday with gusts over 40-mph in Chicago.

#Cristobal could make history with its unusual path, potentially becoming the nation\u2019s farthest north and west tropical depression since records began in 1851.

This are the remnants of Cristobal with very warm temperatures ahead of the storm with sultry dewpoints. It will definitely be a tropical storm like feeling across the region. But, a non-tropical or middle-latitude storm will be absolutely cranking across the Plains states. There is a lot of very cold air amid a deep trough (for June) coming out of Colorado. 50-70 mph gusts look likely across Kansas and Nebraska heading through Tuesday evening into Wednesday.

The barometers will get a workout too! Maybe 982 mb with the storm center \u2014 combination of Cristobal\u2019s remnants and the developing midlatitude cyclone.

\"\"

Rest of the tropics remain a ghost town \u2014 nothing brewing for the next 10-days. Sort of expect some action in the Eastern Pacific but nope.
