Meteorologist Corey Simma is tracking Tropical Storm Cristobal. Watch LIVE updates on CBS47, FOX30.
June 3 Update: Tropical Storm Cristobal is not headed toward Jacksonville but tropical moisture loosely related to the storm will be close by our area through the weekend. Our local rain threat is highly dependent on Cristobal’s track, movement, and strengthening. The tropical moisture may cause scattered showers and a few rumbles of thunder starting Saturday. The First Alert Weather team will continue to track the storm as we get closer to the weekend.
