Tropical Cyclone Cristobal headed toward Gulf Coast, flooding rain expected
Tropical Cyclone Cristobal is meandering over Yucatan Peninsula Friday morning, but it's expected to move back into the Gulf of Mexico overnight and strengthen back into a Tropical Storm.
As it moves north, Cristobal will encounter a lot of atmospheric sheer and dry air, and because of that, it is only expected to have about 60 mph winds.
