'''Tropical Storm Cristobal''' was a relatively weak ] that meandered in the western ] prior to being absorbed into a ]. The third named storm of the ], Cristobal developed on August 5 near the coast of ] from the same ] that spawned ]. The storm tracked slowly southeastward in the early portion of its duration, and initially remained disorganized. Cristobal attained peak winds of 50 mph (85 km/h), and lost the characteristics of a tropical cyclone on August 8. The remnants brought moderate precipitation to ], and in combination with a high pressure system the storm caused three drownings on ] from rip currents. |

Tropical Storm Cristobal initially continued tracking southeastward, with its circulation reforming closer to the thunderstorms during each increase in convection.<ref name="disc7">{{cite web|author=Stacy Stewart|year=2002|title=Tropical Storm Cristobal Discussion Seven|publisher=National Hurricane Center|accessdate=2008-01-08|url=http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2002/dis/al032002.discus.007.html}}</ref> On August 7 the storm turned eastward, due to the influence of a large approaching mid to upper-level frontal zone. As the convection organized further, Cristobal intensified somewhat and attained peak winds of 50 mph (85 km/h).
