Tropical Storm Cristobal is expected to move toward the U.S. Gulf Coast late Sunday or early Monday.
The National Hurricane Center stated, “the risk of storm surge, heavy rainfall and wind impacts beginning over the weekend along portions of the U.S. Gulf Coast from Texas to the Florida Panhandle.” It is still too soon to determine where and when Cristobal will come ashore.
The system, which is currently centered near the Bay of Campeche coast of eastern Mexico, has brought deadly flooding to southern Mexico and Central America. It is expected to continue bringing extreme rainfall to the region through the end of the week.
