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.
