As soon as the 2020 Hurricane Season began the first storm was forming far south in the Gulf of Mexico.   It was named Cristobal and forecast movements put the storm coming ashore in South Louisiana this weekend.

Here is the Thursday update from the National Weather Service:
Tropical Depression Cristobal will continue to meander near the Bay of Campeche today and Friday, before shifting north through the Gulf of Mexico this weekend. Cristobal is expected to make landfall late Sunday night along the Louisiana coast, then weakening to a tropical depression as it moves farther inland into North Louisiana on Monday.

Local weather forecasts are predicting the storm will come up through central Louisiana after making landfall this weekend.  Increased rainfall in our area is expected as a result of the storm moving through.
