DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 400 PM CDT (2100 UTC), the center of Tropical Depression
Cristobal was located near latitude 41.2 North, longitude 91.0 West
or along the Mississippi River at the Iowa and Illinois border. The
depression is moving toward the north-northeast near 28 mph (44
km/h) and this direction of motion is expected to continue, with
some acceleration of forward speed tonight and Wednesday as
Cristobal moves toward Wisconsin, Lake Superior, and Ontario.

Maximum sustained winds are near 30 mph (45 km/h) with higher gusts.
Some strengthening is forecast tonight and early Wednesday as
Cristobal becomes an extratropical low. Cristobal will then
weaken and become absorbed in a larger synoptic low pressure area
Wednesday night.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 992 mb (29.30 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND: Gusty winds are expected tonight and Wednesday over
portions of the Midwest and western Great Lakes as Cristobal
strengthens as an extratropical low.

RAINFALL: Cristobal will produce storm total rainfall accumulations
of 2 to 4 inches from the mid Mississippi Valley to the western
Great Lakes through Wednesday. This rainfall may produce flash
flooding, and is forecast to produce new and renewed minor to
moderate river flooding across portions of the lower Missouri and
mid to upper Mississippi Valleys.

TORNADOES: A few tornadoes are possible across the Mississippi
and Ohio Valleys into tonight.
