Cristobal is moving toward the south near 1 mph (2 km/h), and a turn toward the southeast and east is expected tonight and Wednesday, followed by a turn toward the north-northeast and north on Thursday and Friday. On the forecast track, the center will cross the southern Bay of Campeche coast later tonight or on Wednesday and move inland over eastern Mexico Wednesday night and Thursday. The center is forecast to move back over the Bay of Campeche Thursday night and Friday. Data from an Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft indicate that the maximum sustained winds have increased to near 50 mph (85 km/h) with higher gusts. Some additional increase in strength is possible until the center crosses the coast. Gradual weakening is forecast while the center remains inland, but restrengthening is expected after Cristobal moves back over water Thursday night and Friday. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 70 miles (110 km) from the center. A wind gust of 39 mph (63 km/h) was recently reported at an automated observing site in Ciudad del Carmen. The latest minimum central pressure reported by reconnaissance aircraft is 996 mb (29.42 inches).
