Cristobal weakened to a tropical depression Thursday while it slowly drifts east southeast and brings flooding rains over Mexico. It is expected to turn toward the north, strengthening and moving toward the US Gulf Coast by the weekend.

Thursday morning, the former tropical storm, with sustained 35 mph winds and gusts to 45 mph, was moving at 3 mph, almost the pace most people walk. This slow movement is allowing Cristobal to unleash dcopious amounts of rain across Central America. Some areas could see rainfall amounts measured in feet, leading to life-threatening flooding and mudslides.

The center of Cristobal should re-emerge over the Gulf of Mexico on Friday as it begins to track north and strengthen."A subsequent northward motion should occur through Saturday," the NHC said. "Most of the computer model guidance shows Louisiana as the likely target of landfall either late Sunday or into Monday," CNN meteorologist Dave Hennen says.Sea surface temperatures across the Gulf of Mexico are warm enough to support the strengthening of the storm.
