DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1000 AM CDT (1500 UTC), the center of Tropical Depression
Cristobal was located near latitude 38.9 North, longitude 92.2 West.
The depression is moving toward the north-northeast near 25 mph (17

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 to an extratropical cyclone.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 992 mb (29.30 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND: Gusty winds are expected tonight 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.
 
TORNADOES: A few tornadoes are possible across the Mississippi
