Tropical Storm Cristobal is nearly stalled today in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico, but it could pose a threat to the U.S. Gulf Coast early next week. Cristobal is likely to linger in the vicinity of the southwestern Gulf of Mexico for several days this week, lacking any significant steering winds aloft. This weekend, however, it’s expected to be drawn northward through the Gulf of Mexico through a break in subtropical high pressure. That could bring Cristobal near the northern or western U.S. Gulf Coast by Sunday or Monday (June 6-7, 2020), anywhere from the Texas coast to the Florida Panhandle. It remains too soon to determine where Cristobal would come ashore.
