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.

Original Update
The area being tracked as 93L and Potential Cyclone Three is now, based on recon reports, Tropical Storm Cindy.

Cindy is mostly a flooding rainfall event for areas east of the storm center (As far east as the Florida Panhandle), but may also include coastal rainfall and short-lived tornadoes.

Cindy's Tropical Storm Warnings are in effect for High Island (Just north of Houston/Galveston) to the Mouth of the Pearl River

A Tropical Storm Watch is in effect for... West of High Island to San Luis Pass along the mid-Texas coastline.
