Summary[edit]

Description
English: Tropical Storm Cristobal made landfall along the coast of southeast Louisiana between the mouth of the Mississippi River and Grand Isle at 6:00 p.m. EDT (2200 UTC) on June 7, 2020. At the storm came ashore, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) estimated it carried maximum sustained winds of 50 mph (85 km/h).

The wind and rain impacted southern Louisiana and parts of Mississippi and Florida. A levee was reported breached in St. Bernard Parish and a levee protecting Grand Isle from hurricane storm surges was damaged in Louisiana. Heavy rain dumped by Cristobal caused closure of several highways and a tornado was spawned in Florida.

At 5:00 p.m. EDT (2100 UTC) on June 8, the NHC issued its final advisory on Cristobal. The storm had been downgraded to a depression and was moving across southern Arkansas, with a location about 110 mi (180 km) north of Monroe, Louisiana and 135 mi (220 km) west southwest of Memphis, Tennessee. Maximum sustained winds were estimated at 35 mph (55 km/h). Cristobal was moving north at 18 mph (30 km/h) and expected to spread through the Mississippi Valley into the western Great Lakes during the next couple of days. Flash flood washes are in effect in and near the length of the Mississippi Valley.
