Tropical Storm Cristobal has formed in the Atlantic Ocean, but not in the place you might have expected if you've been watching tropical storm activity closely.
Cristobal has formed from an area of disturbed weather about 1,050 miles east-northeast of Bermuda, the National Hurricane Center said just before 11 a.m. on Aug. 12, and not from the wave far to the south. The center plans to begin advisories at 11 a.m.
Hurricane season in the Atlantic is just hitting its peak period, and the hurricane center is watching at least two other potential areas of development.
One of those is an area of disturbed weather moving toward the Caribbean in the Atlantic, and many were expecting it to be Cristobal, but the tiny storm far to the southwest of the Azores beat that system to the third spot on the 2026 list of hurricane names. The westward-moving system is still far to the west, about 900 miles west-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands, and is expected to become a tropical depression within 48 hours. The next name up on the center's 2026 name rotation for the Atlantic is Dolly.
Satellite data shows Cristobal is producing tropical storm-force winds to its southeast, but it's expected to be short-lived, given its location in the Atlantic.

The admitted murderer Bryan Kohberger plans to file for post-conviction relief after pleading guilty to killing four University of Idaho students in a 4 a.m. home invasion attack, according to court records.
Kohberger plans to argue that he had bad counsel. Court records show he filed a petition for post-conviction relief Monday.
Kohberger, in his handwritten petition, claims that he was "convinced to falsely confess," claiming his high-profile defense team of Anne Taylor, Elisa Massoth and Bicka Barlow didn't tell him about "exculpatory discovery" — evidence mentioned in the recent "Broken Plea" book but never vetted in court.
Read the filing here:
The New York Times was first to report this story after Kohberger called a reporter directly and claimed that he has an "absolute claim of innocence" in his first public remarks outside the courtroom.

PROVO, Utah — A towel and screwdriver recovered during the investigation into Charlie Kirk's ***** assination allegedly had his suspected killer Tyler Robinson's DNA on it — along with that of his former lover and roommate, Lance Twiggs.

He is accused of fatally shooting the 31-year-old Kirk during a Turning Point USA event at the school that day.
