DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 400 PM CDT (2100 UTC), the center of Tropical Depression
Cristobal was located near latitude 34.0 North, longitude 92.0 West.
The depression is moving toward the north near 18 mph (30 km/h) and
this motion is expected to accelerate and become more
north-northeast as Cristobal moves through the Midwest and western
Great Lakes.

Maximum sustained winds are near 35 mph (55 km/h) with higher gusts.
Some weakening of Cristobal is expected tonight into Tuesday
morning before the low restrengthens as it acquires non-tropical
character Tuesday night into Wednesday.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 994 mb (29.36 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND: Gusty winds are expected to gradually subside over portions
of the northern Gulf coast from southeastern Louisiana to the
western Florida Panhandle.  Gusty winds could also occur Tuesday
night and Wednesday over portions of the Midwest and western Great
Lakes as Cristobal becomes an extratropical low.

RAINFALL: Cristobal is expected to produce additional rainfall
accumulations of around an inch along the Gulf Coast from Louisiana
to the Florida Panhandle, resulting in isolated storm total amounts
of 10 inches.  Cristobal will also produce rainfall totals of 2 to
4 inches with local amounts to 6 inches from Arkansas to the
western Great Lakes through Wednesday morning.  This rainfall may
produce flash flooding, and is forecast to produce isolated
significant river flooding across portions of the central Gulf
Coast into the Lower Mississippi Valley.  Smaller streams across
southeast Louisiana and southern Mississippi have begun to rise and
are forecast to crest mid-week.  New and renewed significant river
flooding is possible across the Mid and Upper Mississippi Valley.

TORNADOES:  Isolated tornadoes are possible this evening and
tonight across eastern and northern Mississippi, western Alabama,
and western Tennessee.
