The official forecast calls for it to move to the north over cooler waters and an otherwise unfavorable environment.
Before it moves that far north, though, it may become subtropical Friday or Saturday.
If it does end up becoming a named system, it will be named Cristobal.
Hurricane season officially begins June 1.
