The Tropical Weather System in the Mid-Atlantic has
hardly any chance of being a Tropical Storm due
to an unfavorable environment and the Bermuda
High is helping with that. Sea Surface Temperatures
is added to the mix. Stayed aware that weather
is fluid.

Now we have some very hot temperatures from CA/AZ/TX
to name a few who experience temperatures in the triple
digits. Very hot and humid and I will give a rough
summary through the week. The Mississippi and Missouri
Valleys will be drenched and then as the low moves
East and off the coast, they too will retain some of that
moisture and hence some intense thunderstorms.

WATCHES AND WARNINGS
--------------------

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.

tonight across eastern and northern Mississippi, western Alabama,
and western Tennessee.
