Tropical Storm Cindy Forms in Gulf of Mexico

7 AM Update EDT 22 June 2017
Cindy makes landfall near the Texas and Louisiana border, now moving inland.

Cindy started to develop convection along the northwestern side and it managed to wrap around just as it was making landfall. Shear had let up, but dry air intrusion from the south kept it weak. Rainfall was the biggest story along with numerous small tornadoes and waterspouts.

Rain will continue well inland, however the dry air intrusion made some fairly large pockets where places did not see as much rain, but others such as Alabama and the Panhandle wound up with much more time under rain than areas closer to the center, with the exception of right around the center once it neared land.

The most tragic accident related to Cindy was a 10 year old Missouri boy who died when a log picked up by the heavy surf ran into him in the water and hit him in Fort Morgan, AL while there for a family reunion.
