Tropical depression 19 has formed this afternoon about 80 miles east southeast of Miami. It will move into the Gulf tomorrow and will affect the northern Gulf Coast starting along the Northwest Florida coast late Sunday, and affecting Alabama, Mississippi, and Lousiana through Tuesday or Wednesday.
Tropical Storm Cristobal will make landfall on the Louisiana coast south of New Orleans late this afternoon but its effects will be felt well to the east across Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida as well with wind, storm surge, coastal flooding, rip currents, flooding rains, and tornadoes.
Tropical Storm Cristobal is disorganized but impactful as it continues its march toward the Louisiana Coast. It will make landfall Sunday evening south of Houma, Louisiana. Dangerous storm surge will be felt near and well to the east of the center, as well as heavy rain, tropcai storm force winds, and the threat of tornadoes.
A quasi-linear line of intense thunderstorms with torrential downpours will slowly track eastward through the early morning hours. Periods of training may result in hourly rainfall rates approaching 3 inches per hour and will likely lead to additional instances of flooding.
A corridor for enhanced tornado potential will extend in the near term across southeast MS with a discrete supercell. The risk may continue into far west-central AL between 730-800pm CST.
