This should become Tropical Storm Cindy over the next several hours. The wind field is around 220 miles from the center of circulation and should remain just at or below Tropical Storm strength. Estimated area of impact will be in western Louisiana/Eastern Texas. This system has a wide reach and will, to varying degrees, impact the entire northern Gulf of Mexico areas. Coastal flooding, high surf and winds, and heavy rain can be expected. As the system moves closer, flash flooding from rainfall remains a very real threat.
Please observe your local, state, and NHC advisories, and take appropriate action for your area.
