Houston Forecast: Tropical Storm Cristobal has formed in the Gulf
Hurricane Hunters have found that Tropical Depression 3 has become Tropical Storm Cristobal.
HOUSTON — Hurricane season started yesterda, and right on schedule we have a system developing in the southern Gulf of Mexico.
The National Hurricane Center along with global computer modes suggest this system could strengthen into a Tropical Storm by the afternoon today.
It’s too early to tell exactly who will be a risk from this storm so it is important everyone along the gulf coast pay close attention to the forecast.
I would urge you and your family to watch the weather with us twice a day, and use the KHOU 11 app to get updates on the go, just in case the system strengthens and decides to head our way.

If a system came Houston’s way, we could see higher tides and heavy rainfall and strong winds but again, that’s only if something developed and came this way.
