At 700 AM CDT (1200 UTC), the center of Tropical Depression
Cristobal was located near latitude 31.8 North, longitude 91.6 West.
The depression is moving toward the north-northwest near 10 mph (17
km/h) and this motion should continue today.  A turn toward the 
north is expected tonight, followed by a faster north-northeast 
motion Tuesday and Wednesday.  On the forecast track, the 
center of Cristobal should move through northeastern Louisiana 
today, through Arkansas and eastern Missouri tonight and Tuesday, 
and reach Wisconsin and the western Great Lakes by Wednesday.
 
Maximum sustained winds are 35 mph (55 km/h) with higher gusts.  
Some weakening is expected through Tuesday. However, Cristobal is 
expected to strengthen some as it becomes an extratropical low 
Tuesday night and Wednesday.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure based on surface
observations is 994 mb (29.36 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
Key messages for Cristobal can be found in the Tropical Cyclone
Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT3, WMO header WTNT43 KNHC, and
on the web at https://www.hurricanes.gov/text/MIATCDAT3.shtml
 
STORM SURGE:  Water levels remain elevated along the Gulf coast and 
will begin to subside after the next high tide cycle.
 
WIND: Wind gusts to tropical-storm force are expected to 
continue during the next few hours over portions of the northern 
Gulf coast from southeastern Louisiana to the western Florida 
Panhandle.  Gusty winds could also occur Tuesday night and 
Wednesday over portions of the Midwest and western Great Lakes as 
Cristobal becomes an extratropical low.
 
RAINFALL: Cristobal is expected to produce storm total rainfall
accumulations of 5 to 10 inches across portions of the central to
eastern Gulf Coast into the Lower Mississippi Valley, with isolated
amounts to 15 inches.  Rainfall totals of 2 to 4 inches with local
amounts to 6 inches are expected across portions of the Mid to Upper
Mississippi Valley and Northern Plains near and in advance of
Cristobal.  This rainfall has led to flash flooding and forecast
widespread river flooding across portions of the central Gulf Coast
into the Lower Mississippi Valley.  Smaller streams across southeast
LA and southern MS have begun to rise and are forecast to crest
mid-week.  New and renewed significant river flooding is possible
across the mid and upper Mississippi Valley.
 
TORNADOES:  Isolated tornadoes are possible today and tonight across
Mississippi, Alabama, southeastern Louisiana, eastern Arkansas,
western Tennessee, and southeastern Missouri.
 
SURF:  Swells generated by Cristobal are still affecting portions 
of the northern and eastern Gulf coast, and are likely causing 
life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult 
products from your local weather office.
