After making landfall in southeastern Louisiana yesterday,
tropical storm Cristobal has continued to track further inland
into the lower Mississippi Valley. Cristobal has been weakening
relatively slowly over land, and continues to bring intense rain
bands and tropical storm force wind gusts into Mississippi and
Alabama. A High Risk for excessive rainfall remains in place for
eastern Louisiana and southern Mississippi along with the ongoing
threat for dangerous coastal flooding along the Central Gulf
Coast. Cristobal is expected to bring a several inches of heavy
rain just west of the Mississippi River together with gusty winds
and isolated severe weather during the next couple of days.
Meanwhile, an anomalously cold and vigorous upper trough for early
June continues to swing through the western U.S. and into the
northern Plains. Strong to severe storms will be likely as a cold
front slowly works its way across the region.
