As soon as Cristobal moves over land, a northward track is expected and residents along the Gulf Coast may experience tropical-storm-force winds and dangerous storm surge this weekend, according to the National Hurricane Center.
Residents east of the center warned to expect heavy rain, winds and storm surge.Tropical Depression Cristobal
The depression was moving toward the north-northeast near 7 mph. A turn toward the north with a slight increase in forward speed is expected later today, and a general northward motion is forecast to continue through Sunday.On the forecast track, the center will move over the Yucatan peninsula today. The center is forecast to move back over the southern Gulf of Mexico by tonight, over the central Gulf of Mexico on Saturday, and approach the northern Gulf of Mexico coast Sunday and Sunday night.
Most projections put Cristobal's U.S. landfall in Louisiana, but a few models show a landfall in Florida's Panhandle. Both the Hurricane Center and National Weather Service urged residents to not focus on the cone projection of where Cristobal will go, saying impacts will be felt outside of the cone, especially east of the center.
A storm surge up to 6 feet above ground is possible near and just east of where the storm makes landfall, according to AccuWeather. As the storm strengthens over the weekend, winds will increase throughout the Gulf of Mexico, but especially in shoreline areas from Louisiana east to the Florida Panhandle and along the west coast of the Florida Peninsula, said AccuWeather meteorologists.
