DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 400 PM CDT (2100 UTC), the center of Tropical Depression Three
was located near latitude 19.6 North, longitude 91.2 West. The
depression is moving toward the west-northwest near 7 mph (11 km/h).
This motion at a slower forward speed is expected tonight. The
depression is forecast to turn west-southwestward or southward at a
slower forward speed on Tuesday, and meander over the southern Bay
of Campeche through late Wednesday. On the forecast track, the
center of the cyclone is forecast to be near the coast of the
southern Bay of Campeche Tuesday night through Thursday.

Maximum sustained winds are near 30 mph (45 km/h) with higher gusts.
Gradual strengthening is expected during the next couple of days and
the depression is forecast to become a tropical storm tonight or
Tuesday.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1007 mb (29.74 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
Key messages for Tropical Depression Three can be found in the
Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT3 and WMO
header WTNT43 KNHC.

RAINFALL: Tropical Depression Three is expected to produce rain
accumulations of 10 to 15 inches over parts of the Mexican states
of Tabasco and Veracruz and adjacent portions of Guatemala. This
system is also expected to produce rain accumulations of 5 to 10
inches over parts of El Salvador and Honduras. Isolated maximum
rainfall amounts of 20 inches are possible in the Mexican states of
Tabasco, Veracruz, Oaxaca and portions of Guatemala. This rainfall
may produce life-threatening flash floods and mudslides.

WIND: Tropical storm conditions are expected to first reach the
coast within the warning area Tuesday night.

Tropical Depression Three Discussion Number 1
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL032020
400 PM CDT Mon Jun 01 2020

Recent satellite data and surface observations from Mexico show
that the circulation associated with the area of disturbed weather
over the Yucatan peninsula has become better defined during the
past several hours, and that the center has moved over the eastern
portion of the Bay of Campeche. Although the deep convection has
waned somewhat, there is evidence of banding in both visible
satellite imagery and recent radar data from Sabancuy, Mexico.
Based on these data, advisories are being issued on a tropical
depression. The initial intensity is set at 25 kt, which is in
agreement with earlier ASCAT data.

The depression will be moving over the warm waters over the Bay of
Campeche and upper-level winds are forecast to be generally
conducive for strengthening during the next couple of days. The NHC
forecast is in line with much of the intensity guidance and calls
for the system to become a tropical storm in 12 to 24 hours, with
some additional strengthening predicted through 48 hours while the
system remains over the southern Bay of Campeche. After that time,
the system's intensity will depend on how much it interacts with
land. Although the latest runs of the GFS and ECMWF models
take the cyclone inland over southern Mexico, the NHC forecast
keeps it just offshore and shows the cyclone maintaining tropical
storm strength. Later in the period, the guidance suggests that
the system could strengthen over the south-central Gulf of Mexico,
but the latter portion of the intensity forecast is of low
confidence.

The depression is moving west-northwestward or 290/6 kt. The system
has been moving cyclonically around a larger gyre over Central
America during the past couple of days, and while it remains
embedded within the gyre it is forecast to turn west-southwestward,
and then southward at a slower forward speed over the next couple of
days. On this track, the cyclone is expected to move near the
southern Bay of Campeche coast during the next day or two, and
confidence it that portion of the track forecast is high. After
that time, two distinct scenarios emerges. The first is that the
cyclone continues moving southward and weakens or dissipates over
the rugged terrain over southern Mexico. The latest runs of the
ECMWF and GFS favor that scenario. In this scenario, both models
show a new system developing near the south-central Gulf of Mexico
from another vorticity center that rotates around the larger gyre.
The second scenario, favored by the UKMET and some EC ensemble
members, is for the depression to eject north-northeast moving
into the central Gulf of Mexico by day 5. The NHC forecast favors
the latter, but it is certainly possible that this tropical cyclone
will move inland and dissipates and a new cyclone formation occurs
later this week. The latter portion of both the track and intensity
forecast are of quite low confidence.

Key Messages:

1. The depression is expected to bring heavy rainfall to portions of
southern Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, which could
cause life-threatening flash flooding and mudslides. Refer to
products from your local weather office for more information.

2. Tropical storm conditions are expected along the coast of Mexico
where a tropical storm warning is in effect.

3. The system is forecast to begin moving northward across the Gulf
of Mexico later this week. However, it is too soon to specify the
location and timing of any potential impacts along the U.S. Gulf
Coast. Interests in these areas should monitor the progress of this
system through the week and ensure they have their hurricane plan in
place as we begin the season.

Tropical Depression Three Discussion Number 2
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL032020
1000 PM CDT Mon Jun 01 2020

Satellite imagery, along with radar and surface data from Mexico,
indicate that the depression has changed little in organization or
strength since the previous advisory. There are a couple of small
clusters of convection near the center, while the more concentrated
convection is occurring in ragged bands well removed from the
center. The initial intensity remains 25 kt based on the surface
data and continuity from the previous advisory.

The initial motion is now westward or 270/6. The evolution of this
system during the next several days remains quite uncertain. The
Canadian and UKMET models forecast the cyclone to make a slow
counter-clockwise loop inside a larger gyre over Central America
during the next 2-3 days, with the center moving near the coast of
the Bay of Campeche. This would be followed by a more northward
motion with some increase in forward speed as a mid-/upper-level
trough develops over the northern Gulf of Mexico. On the other
hand, the GFS and ECMWF show the depression turning southward and
making landfall over the coast of Mexico in the next 24-36 h,
followed by dissipation. These two models subsequently develop a
second low pressure area northwest of the Yucatan Peninsula at
around 120 h due to the interaction of the aforementioned gyre and
trough. The new forecast track follows the previous forecast in
showing TD-3 as being the system that moves northward across the
Gulf. However, the new track brings the center closer to the coast
of Mexico and is slower to move it northward than in the previous
advisory. It should be noted, though, that in 5 days there could be
a cyclone near the forecast point that is not actually TD-3.

In the current track forecast scenario, slow strengthening should
occur during the next 24-48 h while the cyclone moves over the warm
water of the Bay of Campeche in an environment of light to
moderate shear. After time, proximity to the Mexican coast should
limit strengthening, and it is possible that the current forecast
intensities could be generous. The more northward motion near the
end of the forecast period is likely to be accompanied by an
increase in southerly shear, so only modest intensification is
forecast during that time. Overall, the new intensity forecast is
similar to the previous forecast. An alternative intensity
forecast scenario is that the cyclone moves far enough inland over
Mexico to dissipate completely in less than 5 days as forecast by
the GFS and ECMWF.

Given the complexity of the situation, both the track and
intensity forecasts are currently low confidence. However, either
of the current scenarios will result in widespread heavy rains over
portions of southern Mexico and Central America.


Key Messages:

1. The depression is expected to bring heavy rainfall to portions of
southern Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, which could
cause life-threatening flash flooding and mudslides. Refer to
products from your local weather office for more information.

2. Tropical storm conditions are expected along the coast of Mexico
where a tropical storm warning is in effect.

3. The system is forecast to begin moving northward across the Gulf
of Mexico later this week. However, it is too soon to specify the
location and timing of any potential impacts along the U.S. Gulf
Coast. Interests in these areas should monitor the progress of this
system through the week and ensure they have their hurricane plan in

RAINFALL: Tropical Depression Three is expected to produce total
rain accumulations of 10 to 20 inches with isolated maximum amounts
of 25 inches over parts of the Mexican states of Tabasco, Veracruz,
and Campeche. The depression is also expected to produce total rain
accumulations of 10 to 15 inches over northern Chiapas and other
Mexican states, Quintana Roo and Yucatan. Additional rainfall of 10
to 15 inches, with isolated amounts of 25 inches is expected along
the Pacific coasts of Chiapas, Guatemala, and El Salvador. Some of
these Pacific locations received 20 inches of rain over the weekend,
and storm total amounts of 35 inches are possible. Rainfall in all
of these areas may produce life-threatening flash floods and
mudslides.

WIND: Tropical storm conditions are expected to first reach the
coast within the warning area tonight.

Tropical Depression Three Discussion Number 3
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL032020
400 AM CDT Tue Jun 02 2020

Satellite data, Mexican radar data from Sabancuy, and nearby surface
observations indicate that the depression has become a little better
organized and has strengthened slightly since the previous advisory.
Radar data indicate a mass of convection has developed north of and
over the low-level center, and a broken curved band has also formed
in the eastern semicircle. The initial intensity has been increased
to 30 kt based on a 0201 UTC ASCAT-A overpass that showed a couple
of 27-kt vectors located in the northeastern quadrant outside of the
most active convection. An Air Force Reserve reconnaissance
aircraft is scheduled to investigate the depression later this
morning.

The initial motion is westward or 270/02 kt. The latest 00Z model
guidance continues to show the depression remaining embedded within
the larger Central American gyre for the next few days, with the
gyre gradually contracting around the depression, with the two
entities merging into one system by 72 hours. Similar to last
night, tonight's model runs have again abandoned the development of
a secondary low east of the depression and moving it northward
toward the U. S Gulf coast. This may be due in part to the lack of
Mexican and Central American upper-air data at 0000 UTC, except for
the Belize sounding. But the global and regional models are in
overall in good agreement on the cyclone remaining trapped in a
break in the subtropical ridge to the east and west of the
depression. By 72-96 hours, a weak shortwave trough is forecast to
drop southward out of the southern plains and into into the ridge
weakness and act as a catalyst to nudge the depression slowly
northward on days 4 and 5. Until that time, the cyclone is
expected to meander over the the Bay of Campeche for the next 2-3
days, possibly making landfall along the coast of extreme
southeastern Mexico and the west coast of Yucatan. The new NHC
forecast track is similar to the previous advisory track, and
brings the center close to the coast of Mexico on days 2 and 3. It
should be noted, though, that in 5 days there could be a cyclone
near the forecast point that is not actually TD-3 due to land
interaction and the possible formation of a secondary cyclone.

Although the vertical wind shear is forecast to remain low while the
cyclone remains trapped in the Bay of Campeche during the next few
days, only slow strengthening is expected due to possible land
interaction and intrusions of dry air caused by southwesterly
downslope flow coming off of the mountains in the state of Chiapas,
which already appears to be underway based on satellite and radar
imagery. After the cyclone starts moving northward, increasing
southerly shear is expected to inhibit any significant or rapid
strengthening. An alternative intensity forecast scenario is that
the cyclone moves far enough inland over Mexico to dissipate
completely in less than 5 days as forecast by the GFS and HWRF
models.

Given the complexity of the situation, both the track and intensity
forecasts are currently low confidence. However, either of the
current scenarios will result in widespread heavy rains over
portions of southern Mexico and Central America.


Key Messages:

1. Deadly flooding has already been occurring in portions of
Guatemala and El Salvador. The depression is expected to bring
heavy rainfall to portions of southern Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras
and El Salvador, which could cause life-threatening flash flooding
and mudslides. Refer to products from your local weather office for
more information.

2. Tropical storm conditions are expected along the coast of Mexico
where a tropical storm warning is in effect.

3. The system is forecast to begin moving northward across the Gulf
of Mexico later this week. However, it is too soon to specify the
location and timing of any potential impacts along the U.S. Gulf
Coast. Interests in these areas should monitor the progress of this
system through the week and ensure they have their hurricane plan in

Tropical Depression Three Discussion Number 4
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL032020
1000 AM CDT Tue Jun 02 2020

An Air Force Reserve Unit Hurricane Hunter aircraft is currently
investigating the depression and has found that the system is very
close to tropical storm strength. Based on flight-level and
SFMR-observed surface winds from the plane, the intensity is held at
30 kt for now. Since the cyclone is over very warm waters with
fairly low vertical shear, intensification to a tropical storm
should occur today. The official intensity forecast is close to the
model consensus. The intensity forecast later in the period is
dependent on how much shear the system will encounter over the
northern Gulf of Mexico and this is somewhat uncertain. For now,
the intensity forecast will remain conservative.

The initial motion estimate is slowly westward, or 270/3 kt. The
cyclone is expected to remain in weak steering currents over the
Bay of Campeche for the next couple of days, with the system moving
slowly within a broader gyre over eastern Mexico. Global models
show the cyclone being trapped between two mid-level anticyclones
until later in the week, when some increase in southerly flow should
begin to carry the system toward the northern Gulf of Mexico
coastline. The official track forecast closely follows the
dynamical model consensus.

At this time, both the track and intensity forecasts are of low
confidence. However, for the next couple of days, the main threat
from this slow-moving cyclone is from widespread heavy rains over
portions of southern Mexico and Central America.


Key Messages:

1. Deadly flooding has already occurred in portions of Guatemala and
El Salvador, and the depression is expected to bring
additional heavy rainfall to portions of southern Mexico, Guatemala,
Honduras, and El Salvador, which could cause life-threatening flash
flooding and mudslides. Refer to products from your local weather
office for more information.

2. Tropical storm conditions are expected along the coast of Mexico
where a tropical storm warning is in effect.

3. The system is forecast to begin moving northward across the Gulf
of Mexico by this weekend. However, it is too soon to specify the
location and timing of any potential impacts along the U.S. Gulf
Coast. Interests in these areas should monitor the progress of this
system through the week and ensure they have their hurricane plan in
place as we begin the season.

Tropical Storm Cristobal Discussion Number 5
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL032020
400 PM CDT Tue Jun 02 2020

Observations from the Hurricane Hunters around midday indicated
winds to tropical storm force over the southwestern quadrant, so the
cyclone was named. Since that time, scatterometer data suggested
that the wind field has become a little more symmetrical. The
current intensity is held at 35 kt for this advisory, which is a
little above the subjective Dvorak estimates. Some strengthening
could occur overnight since the cyclone is in a conducive
atmospheric and oceanic environment. However, it now seems likely
that the system will make landfall over eastern Mexico on Wednesday
which should cause weakening. Assuming that the center emerges over
the Gulf of Mexico later in the week, some re-intensification is
forecast. However, stronger shear over the northern Gulf should
limit the increase in strength. The official intensity forecast is
close to the latest LGEM guidance.

Satellite and radar imagery from Mexico indicate that the cyclone
is moving slowly southward, or around 170/3 kt. The system appears
to be rotating within a larger cyclonic gyre centered over eastern
Mexico. The global models show that Cristobal will be trapped
between two high pressure areas and have little overall movement for
the next few days. However, the slow, cyclonically looping
movement of the cyclone should take the center over eastern Mexico
on Wednesday and Thursday. Later in the week, increasing southerly
flow should steer the system northward over the Gulf of Mexico and
near the northern Gulf coast by the weekend. The official track
forecast lies near the latest dynamical model consensus, and is
roughly in the middle of the track guidance suite. Given the spread
in this guidance, there is a significant amount of uncertainty in
the NHC forecast at days 4-5.

Key Messages:

1. Deadly flooding has already occurred in portions of Guatemala and
El Salvador, and Cristobal is expected to bring additional heavy
rainfall to portions of southern Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and El
Salvador, which could cause life-threatening flash flooding and
mudslides. Refer to products from your national meteorological
service for more information.

2. Tropical storm conditions will continue along the coast of
Mexico where a tropical storm warning is in effect.

3. Cristobal is forecast to begin moving northward across the Gulf
of Mexico on Friday, and there is a risk of storm surge, rainfall,
and wind impacts this weekend along portions of the U.S. Gulf Coast
from Texas to the Florida Panhandle. While it is too soon to
determine the exact location, timing, and magnitude of these
impacts, interests in these areas should monitor the progress of
Cristobal and ensure they have their hurricane plan in place.

Tropical Storm Cristobal Discussion Number 6
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL032020
1000 PM CDT Tue Jun 02 2020

Cristobal has become a little better organized this evening. There
has there has been an increase in convective banding near and to the
east of the center in both satellite and radar imagery. An Air
Force Reserve hurricane hunter aircraft that investigated the storm
this evening found peak 925-mb flight-level winds of 52 kt and peak
SFMR winds of 45-47 kt. An automated Mexican weather station on an
elevated offshore platform has measured slightly stronger winds than
the SFMR, but a blend of these data support an initial intensity of
45 kt. The aircraft reported a minimum pressure of 996 mb on its
final pass through the center.

Recent aircraft and satellite fixes show that Cristobal has been
meandering for much of the day, with perhaps a south or southeast
drift evident. The storm is expected to move slowly southward or
southeastward as it remains within a larger cyclonic gyre centered
over eastern Mexico. This motion should bring the center onshore
over the southern Bay of Campeche coast later tonight or on
Wednesday. After landfall, Cristobal is forecast to continue to
move very slowly toward the east or southeast through early
Thursday. After that time, increasing southerly flow should allow
the storm to begin moving northward over the central and northern
Gulf of Mexico by the weekend. There has been a slight eastward
adjustment in the early portion of the track forecast due to a
slightly more eastward initial position, but after 36 h very little
change to the previous forecast was required. The new NHC track
forecast is again near the various consensus aids and is a blend of
the GFS and ECMWF models. Although there is less spread in the track
guidance this cycle, there is still a fair amount of uncertainty in
the track forecast at 72 h and beyond due to the expected land
interaction within the next day or so, and a potential for center
reformations as the system re-organizes in 2-3 days.

Some additional strengthening is possible overnight before
Cristobal reaches the coast of Mexico. Weakening is likely on
Wednesday and Wednesday night while the circulation encounters
land. Once the system moves over the Gulf of Mexico, environmental
conditions are expected to support re-intensification. The NHC
intensity forecast is closest to the HWRF model and is a bit less
aggressive than the statistical guidance or the HFIP-corrected
consensus model since there is uncertainly regarding structure of
the system after it interacts with land.


Key Messages:

1. Deadly flooding has already occurred in portions of Guatemala and
El Salvador, and Cristobal is expected to bring additional heavy
rainfall to portions of southern Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and El
Salvador, which could cause life-threatening flash flooding and
mudslides. Refer to products from your national meteorological
service for more information.

2. Tropical storm conditions will continue along the coast of
Mexico where a tropical storm warning is in effect.

3. Cristobal is forecast to begin moving northward across the Gulf
of Mexico on Friday, and there is a risk of storm surge, rainfall,
and wind impacts this weekend along portions of the U.S. Gulf Coast
from Texas to the Florida Panhandle. While it is too soon to
determine the exact location, timing, and magnitude of these
impacts, interests in these areas should monitor the progress of
Cristobal and ensure they have their hurricane plan in place.

DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 400 AM CDT (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Cristobal was
located by radar data from Mexico near latitude 18.9 North,
longitude 92.0 West. Cristobal is moving toward the southeast near
3 mph (6 km/h), and this general motion is expected to continue
this morning, followed by turn toward the east this afternoon. A
motion toward the north-northeast and north is expected on Thursday
and Friday. On the forecast track, the center will cross the
southern Bay of Campeche coast later today and move inland over
eastern Mexico tonight and Thursday. The center is forecast to move
back over the Bay of Campeche Thursday night and Friday.

Maximum sustained winds are near 60 mph (95 km/h) with higher gusts.
Some slight increase in strength is possible until the center
crosses the coast. Gradual weakening is forecast while the center
remains inland, but restrengthening is expected after Cristobal
moves back over water Thursday night and Friday.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 60 miles (95 km)
from the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure based on nearby surface
observations is 994 mb (29.35 inches).

Tropical Storm Cristobal Discussion Number 7
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL032020
400 AM CDT Wed Jun 03 2020

Cristobal has continued to get better organized this morning with
the development of a small CDO feature over the low-level center,
with cloud tops of -82C to -86C developing very near the center.
Radar data from Sabancuy, Mexico, also has shown an improvement in
the central convective features, along with an increase in
convective banding on the west side of the circulation, which
previously had been devoid of any significant convection. Reports
from nearby Mexican observations indicate that winds of 47-48 kt
exist west of the center, which supports an intensity of 50 kt. The
same observations support a minimum pressure of 994 mb.

The aforementioned surface observation data and radar imagery
indicate that Cristobal is now moving southeastward or 140/03 kt.
There could be some erratic motion this morning due to land
interaction with the inner-core wind field, but the general motion
should remain southeastward toward the coast of Mexico. By this
afternoon, a turn toward the east is expected, driving the cyclone
inland over southeastern Mexico where it could meander for the next
day or two. By 48 hours, the global and regional models are in good
agreement on the development of a long fetch of southerly flow on
the east side of Cristobal between the cyclone's center and a ridge
over the Bahamas and Hispaniola, which will act to lift the tropical
storm slowly northward toward the south-central Gulf of Mexico. By
72 hours and beyond, mid-latitude ridging amplifies over the
southeastern U.S. and the Bahamas, which will increase the southerly
steering flow, causing Cristobal to accelerate northward on day 4
over the central Gulf, followed by a turn toward the north-northwest
on day 5 near the south-central U.S. Gulf coast. The models are
in very good agreement on this overall developing scenario, with
only timing differences on when and how fast the cyclone will lift
out away from Mexico. The new NHC track forecast is similar to the
previous advisory track, and closely follows a blend of the
consensus models TVCN and NOAA-HCCA.

Some additional slight strengthening remains possible this morning
before Cristobal moves inland over southeastern Mexico. Weakening
is likely this afternoon and tonight while the circulation after
landfall. The intensity forecast leans heavily on just how far
inland Cristobal moves. For now, the cyclone is expected to remain
relatively close to the warm Gulf waters, which should temper the
rate of weakening typically experienced by inland tropical cyclones.
But if Cristobal moves as far inland as Guatemala like the ECMWF and
GFS models are forecasting, the cyclone would be considerably weaker
and the wind field more expansive on days 3-5. The official
intensity forecast is basically the same as the previous advisory,
and closely follows the intensity consensus models IVCN and HCCA.


Key Messages:

1. Damaging and deadly flooding has already occurred in portions of
Mexico and Central America. Cristobal is expected to produce
additional extreme rainfall amounts through the end of the week.
The heaviest additional rainfall is expected over far southern
Mexico and portions of the Yucatan Peninsula, while also extending
along the Pacific coast from Chiapas to Guatemala and El Salvador.
This rainfall could cause widespread life-threatening flash floods
and mudslides.

2. Tropical storm conditions will continue along the coast of
Mexico where a tropical storm warning is in effect.

3. Cristobal is forecast to begin moving northward across the Gulf
of Mexico on Friday, and there is a risk of storm surge, rainfall,
and wind impacts this weekend along portions of the U.S. Gulf Coast
from Texas to the Florida Panhandle. While it is too soon to
determine the exact location, timing, and magnitude of these
impacts, interests in these areas should monitor the progress of
Cristobal and ensure they have their hurricane plan in place.

Tropical Storm Cristobal Discussion Number 8
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL032020
1000 AM CDT Wed Jun 03 2020

Observations from an Air Force Hurricane Hunter aircraft and
imagery from the Sabancuy radar in Mexico indicate that the center
of Cristobal made landfall in the state of Campeche just to the
west of Ciudad del Carmen around 1330 UTC. Data from the aircraft
and earlier surface reports indicate that the landfall intensity
was about 50 kt. Now that the center of circulation has moved
inland, a gradual weakening trend should commence. However, the
large circulation will take some time to spin down. It is
anticipated that Cristobal will weaken to a depression by tomorrow
evening. Later in the forecast period, the system is expected to
emerge into the Gulf of Mexico so some re-strengthening is
predicted. However, the global models show increased southwesterly
shear influencing the cyclone over the northern Gulf of Mexico and
this should limit intensification. The official intensity forecast
is similar to the latest LGEM and HCCA guidance. However, there is
significant uncertainty as to how strong a cyclone we will be
dealing with near the northern Gulf coast this weekend.

The storm has been moving slowly south-southeastward, or 150/3 kt.
Over the next couple of days, Cristobal should move slowly in a
cyclonic loop while embedded within a broader gyre over Central
America and eastern Mexico. Then, the cyclone should turn
northward into a weakness in the mid-level flow over the Gulf of
Mexico, and approach the northern Gulf coast within 4 days. The
official track forecast is very close to the latest dynamical model
consensus, TVCA.


Key Messages:

1. Damaging and deadly flooding has already occurred in portions of
Mexico and Central America. Cristobal is expected to produce
additional extreme rainfall amounts through the end of the week.
The heaviest additional rainfall is expected over far southern
Mexico and portions of the Yucatan Peninsula, while also extending
along the Pacific coast from Chiapas to Guatemala and El Salvador.
This rainfall could cause widespread life-threatening flash floods
and mudslides.

2. Even though Cristobal has made landfall, tropical storm
conditions will continue along and near the coast of Mexico through
Thursday, especially over western Campeche, eastern Tabasco,
and northern Chiapas states.

3. Cristobal is forecast to re-emerge over the southern Gulf of
Mexico Friday or Friday night and move northward over the central
and northern Gulf of Mexico over the weekend. There is a risk of
storm surge, heavy rainfall, and wind impacts beginning over the
weekend along portions of the U.S. Gulf Coast from Texas to the
Florida Panhandle. While it is too soon to determine the exact
location, timing, and magnitude of these impacts, interests in these
areas should monitor the progress of Cristobal and ensure they have
their hurricane plan in place.

Tropical Storm Cristobal Discussion Number 9
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL032020
400 PM CDT Wed Jun 03 2020

Cristobal continues to move over land and is passing a short
distance south of Ciudad del Carmen, where tropical storm
force winds, at least in gusts, have been reported. The current
intensity estimate assumes only a very slow weakening rate and
maximum winds are set at 45 kt for this advisory. Since the system
has a large circulation, the weakening should continue to be at a
slow rate and the cyclone is expected to become a tropical
depression by late Thursday. Once the center re-emerges over the
Gulf of Mexico, which is forecast to happen on Friday,
re-intensification should begin. However, the model guidance
currently suggests that the atmospheric environment over the Gulf
will not be very conducive for strengthening. The official
intensity forecast is similar to the previous one, but is at the
high end of the guidance suite. As has been noted, however, there
is significant uncertainty as to how strong Cristobal will be when
it approaches the northern Gulf coast. This is due to the
limitations of predicting tropical cyclone intensity change.

The storm continues to move southeastward quite slowly, or 135/3
kt. Cristobal should move in a partial cyclonic loop, and remain
over land, while embedded within a broad gyre over Central
America and eastern Mexico. Later in the forecast period, an
increase in southerly flow is likely to cause the system to move
back over water and approach the northern Gulf coast this weekend.
The official track forecast follows the dynamical model consensus
TVCA.


Key Messages:

1. Damaging and deadly flooding has already occurred in portions of
Mexico and Central America. Cristobal is expected to produce
additional extreme rainfall amounts through the end of the week.
The heaviest additional rainfall is expected over far southern
Mexico and portions of the Yucatan Peninsula, while also extending
along the Pacific coast from Chiapas to Guatemala and El Salvador.
This rainfall could cause widespread life-threatening flash floods
and mudslides.

2. Even though Cristobal has made landfall, tropical storm
conditions will continue along and near the coast of Mexico through
Thursday, especially over western Campeche, eastern Tabasco, and
northern Chiapas states.

3. Cristobal is forecast to re-emerge over the southern Gulf of
Mexico Friday or Friday night and move northward over the central
and northern Gulf of Mexico over the weekend. There is a risk of
storm surge, heavy rainfall, and wind impacts beginning over the
weekend along portions of the U.S. Gulf Coast from Texas to the
Florida Panhandle. While it is too soon to determine the exact
location, timing, and magnitude of these impacts, interests in these
areas should monitor the progress of Cristobal and ensure they have
their hurricane plan in place.

Tropical Storm Cristobal Discussion Number 10
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL032020
1000 PM CDT Wed Jun 03 2020

Geostationary satellite imagery and radar data from Sabancuy,
Mexico, indicate that Cristobal has moved very little since the
previous advisory, and that the convective structure of the cyclone
remains fairly well-organized with several bands wrapping around the
circulation. The center is still located just south of Ciudad del
Carmen, and the observing site at that location reported a pressure
of around 995 mb earlier this evening. The initial intensity has
been lowered to 40 kt, assuming some reduction in wind speed has
taken place. Additional gradual weakening is expected during the
next day or so while the center moves slowly inland over eastern
Mexico. Cristobal is expected to emerge over the south-central Gulf
of Mexico on Friday and some re-intensification is forecast to
occur. After that time, some additional strengthening is forecast
while Cristobal moves northward toward the northern Gulf coast, but
the overall environment is not expected to be particularly
conducive for intensification. The updated NHC intensity forecast
shows a slightly lower peak intensity than the previous advisory,
and it is in best agreement with the HFIP corrected consensus model
and the IVCN intensity consensus aid.

Although Cristobal has been nearly stationary over the past several
hours, a slow southeastward or eastward motion should commence
overnight. Increasing southerly flow around a strengthening ridge
over the western Atlantic should cause the cyclone to begin moving
northward on Friday, and a northward or north-northwestward motion
should continue through Saturday with Cristobal approaching the
northern Gulf coast by later in the weekend. The new NHC track
forecast is again very similar to the previous NHC advisory and is
close to the various consensus models.

The global models indicate that Cristobal's wind field will expand
as the cyclone deepens over the south-central Gulf of Mexico.
Therefore, the size of the NHC wind radii have been increased
primarily over the eastern semicircle at 48 through 72 hours.


Key Messages:

1. Damaging and deadly flooding has already occurred in portions of
Mexico and Central America. Cristobal is expected to produce
additional extreme rainfall amounts through the end of the week.
The heaviest additional rainfall is expected over far southern
Mexico and portions of the Yucatan Peninsula, while also extending
along the Pacific coast from Chiapas to Guatemala and El Salvador.
This rainfall could cause widespread life-threatening flash floods
and mudslides.

2. Even though Cristobal has made landfall, tropical storm
conditions will continue along and near the coast of Mexico through
Thursday morning, especially over western Campeche, eastern
Tabasco, and northern Chiapas states.

3. Cristobal is forecast to re-emerge over the southern Gulf of
Mexico on Friday and move northward over the central and northern
Gulf of Mexico over the weekend. There is a risk of storm surge,
heavy rainfall, and wind impacts beginning over the weekend along
portions of the U.S. Gulf Coast from Texas to the Florida Panhandle.
While it is too soon to determine the exact location, timing, and
magnitude of these impacts, interests in these areas should monitor
the progress of Cristobal and ensure they have their hurricane plan
in place.

Tropical storm watches or warnings may be required for portions of
the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico later today. Interests there and
along the northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico should monitor the
progress of Cristobal.

For storm information specific to your area, please monitor
products issued by your national meteorological service.


DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 400 AM CDT (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Cristobal was
located over southern Mexico near latitude 17.9 North, longitude
91.3 West. Cristobal is moving toward the southeast near 2 mph (4
km/h), and this motion should continue this morning. A turn toward
the east and northeast is expected later today, and a subsequent
northward motion should occur through Saturday. On the forecast
track, the center will move over the land mass of eastern Mexico
today and tonight. The center is forecast to move back over the
southern Gulf of Mexico Friday or Friday night, and over the
central Gulf of Mexico on Saturday.

Maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher gusts.
Cristobal is expected to weaken to a depression during the next
several hours. Re-intensification is expected to begin on Friday.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 60 miles (95 km)
from the center, primarily over water to the northwest of the
center.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 998 mb (29.47 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND

Tropical Storm Cristobal Discussion Number 11
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL032020
400 AM CDT Thu Jun 04 2020

Satellite imagery and radar data from Sabancuy, Mexico indicate
that Cristobal has resumed a southeastward drift and moved farther
inland. There is no data from near the core of the storm, so the
maximum intensity is set to a possibly generous 35 kt based on
continuity from the previous advisory and earlier scatterometer
data that showed 35 kt winds over water to the northwest of the
center.

The initial motion is a drifting 125/2 kt. A slow eastward motion
is expected today. After that, southerly flow associated with a
strengthening ridge over the western Atlantic and a developing
mid-/upper-level trough over northern Gulf of Mexico should turn
Cristobal northward with some increase in forward speed. Later in
the forecast period, a north-northwestward or northward motion is
expected as Cristobal interacts with the trough, with most of the
track forecast guidance bringing the system to the northern Gulf
coast between 96-120 h. The new forecast track has no significant
changes from the previous track, and it lies near the various
consensus models.

Cristobal should weaken to a depression in the next few hours as
the center drifts farther inland. Little subsequent change in
strength is likely through 24 h due to much of the circulation
remaining over water. By 36 h, the global model guidance suggest
that winds will increase over the Gulf of Mexico well northeast of
the center, so the new intensity forecast calls for Cristobal to
regain tropical storm status at that time. From 48-120 h, Cristobal
is forecast to interact with the trough over the Gulf of Mexico,
which is likely to cause dry air entrainment and some shear. The
intensity guidance suggests these conditions will allow only
gradual intensification, so the new forecast follows the trend of
the previous forecast in showing a peak intensity of 50 kt before
landfall on the northern Gulf coast.

The global models indicate that Cristobal's wind field will expand
as the cyclone deepens over the south-central Gulf of Mexico.
Therefore, the size of the NHC wind radii have again been increased
primarily over the eastern semicircle at 36-72 hours. Indeed,
the models suggest that when the storm reaches the northern Gulf
coast the worst conditions may occur at a large distance from the
center.


Key Messages:

1. Damaging and deadly flooding was already occurring in portions
of Mexico and Central America. Cristobal is expected to produce
additional extreme rainfall amounts through the end of the week. The
heaviest additional rainfall is expected over far southern Mexico
and portions of the Yucatan Peninsula, while also extending along
the Pacific coast from Chiapas to Guatemala and El Salvador. This
rainfall could cause widespread life-threatening flash floods and
mudslides. Refer to products from your local weather office for
more information.

2. Even though Cristobal is inland, tropical storm conditions will
continue along and near the coast of Mexico for a few more hours,
especially over western Campeche, eastern Tabasco, and northern
Chiapas states.

3. Cristobal is forecast to re-emerge over the southern Gulf of
Mexico on Friday and move northward over the central and northern
Gulf of Mexico over the weekend. There is a risk of storm surge,
heavy rainfall, and wind impacts beginning over the weekend along
portions of the U.S. Gulf Coast from Texas to the Florida Panhandle.
While it is too soon to determine the exact location, timing, and
magnitude of these impacts, interests in these areas should monitor
the progress of Cristobal and ensure they have their hurricane plan
in place.

----------------------
At 1000 AM CDT (1500 UTC), the center of Tropical Depression
Cristobal was located near latitude 17.6 North, longitude 91.0 West.
The depression is moving toward the east-southeast near 3 mph (6
km/h), and this motion should continue through midday. A turn
toward the east and northeast is expected later today, and a
subsequent northward motion should occur through Sunday. On the
forecast track, the center will move over the land mass of extreme
northwestern Guatemala and eastern Mexico today and tonight. The
center is forecast to move back over the southern Gulf of Mexico
Friday or Friday night, over the central Gulf of Mexico on
Saturday, and approach the northern Gulf of Mexico coast Sunday and
Sunday night.

Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 35 mph (55 km/h)
with higher gusts. Little change in strength is expected through
tonight. Re-intensification is expected to begin on Friday.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 998 mb (29.47 inches).

Tropical Depression Cristobal Discussion Number 12
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL032020
1000 AM CDT Thu Jun 04 2020

With the center remaining inland, Cristobal has continued to
weaken, and the cloud pattern is becoming disorganized. The
current intensity is reduced to 30 kt for this advisory, and the
warnings for the Bay of Campeche coast of Mexico have been
discontinued. Assuming that the center will emerge over the Gulf of
Mexico in about 36 hours, re-intensification should begin by
tomorrow evening. The environment over the Gulf of Mexico is not
expected to be very conducive for intensification, with moderate
southwesterly shear and some dry mid-level air. Not surprisingly,
the intensity guidance, such as HWRF and LGEM, are not very bullish
on strengthening. The official forecast remains a little above the
latest intensity model consensus. It should still be noted,
however, that there is some uncertainty as to the strength of
Cristobal when it reaches the northern Gulf of Mexico coast due to
the limitations of forecasting tropical cyclone intensity change.

The cyclone continues to move slowly east-southeastward, or 120/3
kt. Over the next day or so, Cristobal is likely to move along a
partial cyclonic loop while embedded within a broader gyre. By
tomorrow night, the system should have begun moving northward into
a weakness in the subtropical ridge. This generally northward
motion should continue until the center crosses the northern
Gulf coast. There have been no important changes to the NHC track
forecast, which is a blend of the simple and corrected dynamical
model consensus aids.

The global models indicate that Cristobal's wind field will expand
as the cyclone deepens over the south-central Gulf of Mexico.
Therefore, the size of the NHC wind radii have again been increased
primarily over the eastern semicircle at 36-72 hours. Indeed,
the models suggest that when the storm reaches the northern Gulf
coast, the worst conditions may occur at a large distance from the
center.

Key Messages:

1. Damaging and deadly flooding has already been occurring in
portions of Mexico and Central America. Cristobal is expected to
produce additional extreme rainfall amounts through the end of the
week. The heaviest additional rainfall is expected over far
southern Mexico and portions of the Yucatan Peninsula, while also
extending along the Pacific coast from Chiapas to Guatemala and El
Salvador. This rainfall could cause widespread life-threatening
flash floods and mudslides. Refer to products from your local
weather office for more information.

2. Cristobal is forecast to re-emerge over the southern Gulf of
Mexico on Friday and move northward over the central and northern
Gulf of Mexico over the weekend. There is a risk of tropical storm
force winds this weekend from Louisiana to the western Florida
Panhandle and a risk of dangerous storm surge from Louisiana to the
Florida Big Bend. These hazards, along with heavy rainfall, will
arrive well in advance of and extend well east of Cristobals
center. Tropical storm and storm surge watches could be issued
tonight or Friday.
