DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 100 AM CDT (0600 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Cristobal was
located near latitude 18.0 North, longitude 91.5 West. Cristobal has
resumed a southeastward motion at about 3 mph (6 km/h), and this 
motion should continue this morning.  A turn toward the 
north-northeast and north is expected later today, and a general 
northward motion should continue through Saturday.  On the forecast 
track, the center will move over the land mass of eastern Mexico 
through today. The center is forecast to move back over the 
southern Gulf of Mexico on Friday, and over the central Gulf of 
Mexico on Saturday.
 
Maximum sustained winds are now near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher
gusts. Slow weakening will occur while the cyclone moves over land,
and Cristobal will likely become a tropical depression later today.
Some re-strengthening is expected to begin on Friday.
 
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 60 miles (95 km)
from the center, primarily over water.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 997 mb (29.44 inches).
