NOAA Hurricane
The center of Tropical Storm Cristobal is near 17.9N 91.3W at
04/0900 UTC. This position also is about 60 miles/95 km to the
southeast of Ciudad del Carmen in Mexico. Cristobal is moving
southeast at 2 knots. The estimated minimum central pressure is
998 mb. The maximum sustained wind speeds are 35 knots with
gusts to 45 knots. Precipitation: scattered to numerous strong
is within 200 E and NE of the center. Scattered moderate to
strong is within 180 to 240 nm of the center in the SE and SW
quadrants. Gradual weakening is expected during the next day or
so, while the center moves slowly inland in eastern Mexico.
Cristobal is expected to emerge in the south central Gulf of
Mexico on Friday, and some re-intensification is forecast to
occur, as Cristobal moves northward to the northern Gulf coast.

nautical miles including Galveston and Matagorda Bays
352 AM CDT Thu Jun 4 2020
.SYNOPSIS FOR HIGH ISLAND TO MATAGORDA SHIP CHANNEL OUT 60 NM...
Light to occasionally moderate east to southeast winds can be expected
through the end of the work week. Increasing winds, swinging around
from the northeast to north to northwest to west to southwest, along
with building seas and an increased risk of rip currents are anticipated
over the weekend and into the start of next week as Tropical Storm Cristobal
moves into the northern Gulf of Mexico waters and makes an expected
landfall along the Louisiana coast. Cristobal's future track still remains
uncertain, and mariners should closely monitor the progress of this
system.
