Morning satellite view of Tropical Storm Cristobal (winds 50 mph) in the central Gulf of Mexico shows an asymmetric but large system moving north. The heaviest showers and storms are within the thick cloud-cover to the east of the storm center with a plume of tropical moisture beginning to soak the Florida coastline.

That is the story of Cristobal: rain and lots of it heading up the Mississippi River Valley into the Great Lakes.

Large area of 4-inches of rainfall w/6-10\u201d over Southeast Louisiana just east of the storm center landfall location. The red shading on the precipitation map from WPC marks the storm\u2019s footprint and track into Wisconsin where it will merge/transition into a non-tropical storm. But all of that tropical moisture will head well north over the next week.

Rest of the tropics: including the Eastern Pacific and Western Pacific (typhoons) remains very quiet for at least the next 10-days.
