The third named storm of an already-busy Atlantic hurricane season is not expected to intensify into a hurricane, but will definitely leave its mark as it moves inland along the southeast coast of Louisiana, forecasters said.
In Louisiana, Gov. John Bel Edwards declared a state of emergency."Continue to stay weather aware this weekend as Tropical Storm Cristobal makes its way to Louisiana," Edwards warned residents in a tweet.
CR Holloway, an 83-year-old French Quarter resident, was wearing a face mask and shopping for sesame seeds for a dinner party he is hosting Monday evening. When asked about the potential for flooding in the city, he said his thoughts are more occupied with the COVID-19 pandemic and recent calls for police changes than they are with Cristobal.

Prior to last week’s rallies, the gallery was closed because of the pandemic. A few tornadoes were also possible Sunday afternoon and night across eastern Louisiana, southern Mississippi, southern Alabama and northern Florida.Busy hurricane season expected, NOAA says, with up to 19 named storms possible
said, whipping up dangerous rip currents and coastal flooding, particularly along and to the east of the track from Louisiana to western Florida.
