Tropical Storm Cristina is poised to move into the southwestern Gulf of Mexico mid this week! At this point, Cristina will likely be just a remnant low. As the remnant low moves north in the western Gulf, it appears there could be a brief window - about 24-36 hours - for the low to become a Tropical Depression or low-end Tropical Storm before making landfall most likely somewhere between the Texas Coastal Band and Brownsville early this weekend. It’s a low-end chance for intensification but some guidance is now on board with this scenario. Regardless, increasing rain is likely from the RGV, into South Texas, coastal Texas and possibly southeastern and central Texas late week and this weekend🌀🌧️
