In the tropics, Tropical Strom Cristobal is moving towards the northern U.S. Gulf coast.  At 5 am Saturday, Cristobal was located near 23.8 North, 90.2 West, and was moving north at 14 miles per hour.  Maximum sustained winds were 45 miles per hour.  A tropical storm warning is in effect from east of Morgan City, Louisiana to portions of the Florida panhandle.  The warning area will feel the effects of Cristobal on Sunday with landfall expected late Sunday night or early Monday morning.  Cristobal will then weaken and move northward through the Mississippi Valley, bringing heavy rain to the region.
