1. NOAA/NWS – Tropical Depression Cristobal (see slides)

What has changed: 

• No significant changes. Greatest threats continue to be heavy rain and coastal flooding.
• Landfall due later this afternoon.

Other

• §A HIGH RISK of flash flooding has been highlighted for portions of southeastern LA and southern/coastal MS mainly for this afternoon through tonight.
  §Coastal flooding will continue to be a concern along open shore lines and outside of leveed areas.
  §Sustained tropical storm force winds and a few tornadoes are also possible now through Monday.
  §The greatest impacts will likely be felt away from the storm’s center on the east side of the track.
• §Cristobal continues to move Northward around 12mph
  §It is forecast to make landfall this afternoon along the coast of SE LA
  §It has a broad wind field and impacts will extend outside the cone
  §Impacts will continue to spread inland through the day today and will persist through tonight and into Monday
• §Cristobal continues to be somewhat disorganized as it fights dry air. Because of this, no further strengthening is anticipated prior to landfall.
  §We will be monitoring trends today through Monday as any banding features will be the primary factors to determining where the heaviest rain falls
