Tropical Storm Cristobal was the third named storm of the 2008 Atlantic hurricane season. Cristobal developed offshore the coast of South Carolina from a frontal zone and then moved northeastward, parallel to the East Coast of the United States. Cristobal was a dry storm, as most of the convection was located east of the center throughout its lifetime, and thus rainfall was minimal. Cristobal caused $10,000 (2008) USD and no deaths.
