Tropical Report

Tropical Storm Cindy Discussion Number 11

NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL032017

400 AM CDT Thu Jun 22 2017

Radar imagery from Slidell and Lake Charles, Louisiana along with

surface synoptic data, particularly those from Calcasieu Pass

Louisiana, indicate that the center of Cindy crossed the coast

between Cameron Louisiana and Port Arthur Texas an hour or two ago.

The observations from Calcasieu indicate that the intensity is now

around 35 kt. Now that the center is inland, steady weakening will

occur and the system should become a depression later today, and be

reduced to a post-tropical remnant low tonight. In 2-3 days, or

sooner, the remnant low of Cindy should become absorbed into a

frontal zone over the eastern United States.

The initial motion is a little faster, and is about 360/10 kt.

Cindy should continue to move through a break in the subtropical

ridge today, and gradually turn toward the northeast and

east-northeast as it encounters mid-level westerly flow over the

next couple of days. The official track forecast lies between the

GFS and ECMWF predictions.

Although Cindy is weakening, it will continue to produce heavy

rainfall over portions of the northern Gulf Coast and the

southeastern and eastern United States, along with the potential

for life-threatening flash flooding in some locations. For

more information on the flooding hazard, see products from your

local National Weather Service office and the NOAA Weather

Prediction Center.
