The estimated minimum central pressure is 995 mb (29.39 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND

strengthens as an extratropical low.

RAINFALL: Cristobal will produce storm total rainfall accumulations
of 2 to 4 inches with local amounts to 6 inches from Arkansas to

may produce flash flooding, and is forecast to produce new and

lower Missouri and mid to upper Mississippi Valleys. Smaller
streams and rivers across southeast Louisiana, southern
Mississippi, and eastern Arkansas have already begun to rise.
