Hurricane Cristobal in the Atlantic Ocean

Hurricane Cristobal is located west of Bermuda still holding to hurricane strength with a small window of opportunity for strengthening further before it moves to higher latitudes and over cooler waters in a couple of days. Currently, the satellite presentation resembles a subtropical cyclone with weak convection which is not concentrated near the center. Cristobal slowed down earlier this morning, but it has resumed a northward motion at 10 knots. This image was taken by GOES East at 1145Z on August 27, 2014.
