Tropical Depression Cristobal is gathering strength and has its sights set on the US Gulf States this weekend.
The center of the storm is expected to re-emerge over the Gulf of Mexico by Friday night. At that time, it will continue its north motion toward the northern Gulf Coast and pick up speed. Cristobal is expected to strengthen back to a tropical storm by late Friday or early Saturday. On Saturday, Cristobal will strengthen over the Gulf of Mexico and grow in size.
Due to its large size, tropical storm force winds and heavy rain, the storm could begin for areas along the Gulf Coast as early as Saturday evening, a full 24 hours ahead of projected landfall. Due to the big wind field and large rain shield, its effects will extend far away from the storm center. In addition to the wind, there is a risk for dangerous storm surge from Louisiana to the Florida Big Bend.
