Gulf Coast prepares for flooding from Tropical Storm Cristobal

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The latest forecast track has Tropical Storm Cristobal -- the third named storm of what is expected to be an active hurricane season -- making landfall sometime Sunday afternoon or early evening.

As for Cristobal's landfall location, several models are in alignment and expect that point to fall somewhere between Marsh Island to Slidell, Louisiana

But this does not mean that locations outside this area will be free from impact.

"The highest winds, greatest storm surge and heaviest rain may occur east of where Cristobal makes landfall, so not only is the Louisiana coast at risk, but also Mississippi, Alabama and well into the Florida Panhandle," said CNN meteorologist Dave Hennen.

2. We just got the first band of wind and rain in New Orleans.

Only lasted about ten minutes. The worst is expected Sunday afternoon into Monday morning.

What fun, a tropical storm during a pandemic.
