    Post-Tropical Cyclone Cristobal Discussion Number 5
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL032026
    300 PM GMT Thu Aug 13 2026

    Cristobal is entrenched in a hostile environment, with cool SSTs,
    strong northerly vertical wind shear and dry mid-level air.
    Organized convection has been absent since around 21-22z yesterday
    and all that remains is remnant low devoid of convection. The
    initial intensity is set at 25 kt for this advisory.

    The remnant low will continue moving rapidly northeastward to
    east-northeastward today before the remnant low becomes absorbed
    into the broader flow associated with a deepening upper-level low
    over Atlantic Canada. This is the last advisory issued by the
    National Hurricane Center on this system.
