Weather Underground, or Wunderground, is an excellent weather service with an incredibly valuable content, changing every minute as weather changes.
As of today Wunderground gives detailed information concerning the Tropical Storm Cristobal; and the info is extremely detailed and complete:
QUOTE – Wunderground composite radar image of showers and thunderstorms around Tropical Storm Cristobal as of 1854Z (2:54 pm CDT) Sunday, June 7, 2020. (NWS, via WU). Tropical Storm Cristobal was lumbering ashore Sunday afternoon across southeast Louisiana, making for the second U.S. named-storm landfall this year after marginal Tropical Storm Bertha. As of 2 pm EDT, the NOAA/NWS National Hurricane Center placed the center of Cristobal about 30 miles south-southeast of Grande Isle, Louisiana, moving north at 5 mph. Top sustained winds were holding steady at around 50 mph. Cristobal’s structure on Sunday afternoon was far that of a classic symmetric tropical cyclone. As well predicted by models, Cristobal has been right-weighted, with the weather far more active on its right-hand (east) side than on its left-hand (west) side. What’s interesting from a modeling perspective is that several models, including the GFS and HWRF, successfully captured the idea that Cristobal would have a vortex-within-a-vortex structure. The most distinct area of low-level spin approached the Louisiana coast on Sunday while rotating around the north side of a broader area of circulation. Meanwhile, another area of low-level spin was evident moving eastward around the south side of Cristobal’s larger circulation, a bit further offshore (see visible satellite image below). In its 2 PM advisory, NHC appeared to place the center of Cristobal in between these small-scale vortexes, near the center of the broader circulation. Rainfall totals of 4” – 6” for the 24-hour period ending Sunday morning were widespread across Pinellas County in the Tampa Bay area, and a 24-hour total of 7.02” was reported late Sunday morning at a CoCoRaHS site about seven miles west of Jacksonville. Tropical-storm-force sustained winds were limited to areas off the coast of southeast Louisiana as of early afternoon Sunday. Winds were sustained at 51 mph and gusting to 57 mph at a height of 53 meters (173 feet) at an offshore platform about 100 miles south of Mobile, Alabama. – UNQUOTE.
