Although the center of Cristobal has moved inland, there remains a danger of life-threatening storm surge along parts of the northern Gulf coast today.
The center of Cristobal should move through southwestern Mississippi and northeastern Louisiana today, through Arkansas and eastern Missouri tonight and Tuesday, and reach Wisconsin and the western Great Lakes by Wednesday.
Heavy rains associated with the system will spread over portions of the central United States over the next couple of days.
This will lead to a threat of flash flooding and river flooding.
Also, isolated tornadoes are possible today and tonight across parts of the Southeast.
Here in our area, we will see one more day of rip currents and high surf on our Gulf Coast.
