Cristobal was located near latitude 36.8 North, longitude 92.0 West.
The depression is moving toward the north near 25 mph (41 km/h) and
its motion is expected to acceleerate to the north and 
north-northeast over the next 36 hours.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 30 mph (45 km/h) with higher gusts.
Some strengthening is forecast during the next 36 hours as 
Cristobal transitions into an extratropical cyclone.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 995 mb (29.39 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND: Gusty winds are expected Tuesday night and Wednesday over
portions of the Midwest and western Great Lakes as Cristobal
strengthens as an extratropical low.
 
RAINFALL: Cristobal will produce storm total rainfall accumulations
of 2 to 4 inches with local amounts to 6 inches from Arkansas to
the western Great Lakes through Wednesday morning.  This rainfall
may produce flash flooding, and is forecast to produce new and 
renewed minor to moderate river flooding across portions of the 
lower Missouri and mid to upper Mississippi Valleys. Smaller 
streams and rivers across southeast Louisiana, southern 
Mississippi, and eastern Arkansas have already begun to rise.
