At 0400am CDT (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Depression Cristobal was located inland near latitude 18.8 North, longitude 90.1 West. The depression is moving toward the north-northeast near 7mph (11 km/h). A turn toward the north with a slight increase in forward speed is expected later today [Friday 5 June], and a general northward motion is forecast to continue through Sunday.
On the forecast track, the center will move over the Yucatan peninsula through the day today. The center is forecast to move back over the southern Gulf of Mexico by tonight, over the central Gulf of Mexico on Saturday, and approach the northern Gulf of Mexico coast Sunday and Sunday night.
Maximum sustained winds are near 35mph (55 km/h) with higher gusts. Little change in strength is expected while the depression is located over land. Gradual strengthening is forecast to begin once the system moves over the southern Gulf of Mexico…
…Gusty conditions are possible today along the eastern coast of the Yucatan peninsula.
Cristobal is expected to produce the following rain accumulations through Saturday:
- Mexican states of Campeche, Quintana Roo, and Yucatan: Additional 4-8 inches, isolated storm totals of 25 inches.

- El Salvador: Additional 4-8 inches, isolated storm total amounts of 35 inches dating back to Saturday, 30 May.
Southern parts of Honduras: Additional 2-4 inches, isolated 8 inches.
