Tropical Storm Cristobal update

Tropical Storm Cristobal, after bringing heavy rain and flooding to Central America and Mexico, is moving across the Gulf of Mexico with expected landfall in Louisiana by Sunday evening.

Officials at the National Hurricane Center are warning that winds and storm surge in advance of Cristobal’s landfall could extend from Louisiana to Florida, including the Panhandle and Tampa Bay, while tropical storm-force winds may extend inland to New Orleans.

Life-threatening storm surge remains possible along the Florida Big Bend and in other portions of southern and southeastern Louisiana where a Storm Surge Watch is in effect.
