Tropical Depression Cindy brought stormy weather to parts of the southern U.S. on Thursday.\u00a0 At 11:00 p.m. EDT on Thursday the center of Tropical Depression Cindy was located at latitude 33.1\u00b0N and 93.5\u00b0W which put it about 70 miles (115 km) southwest of Little Rock, Arkansas.\u00a0 Cindy was moving toward the north-northeast at 12 m.p.h. (19 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 20 m.p.h. (30 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 30 m.p.h. (50 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 1000 mb.<\/p>\n
Tropical Storm Cindy made landfall early on Thursday morning near the border between Texas and Louisiana.\u00a0 Cindy moved steadily northward during the day and it was centered over southwestern Arkansas by Thursday night.\u00a0 Broad counterclockwise rotation around Cindy transported warm and very humid air over the southern U.S.\u00a0 Bands of showers and thunderstorms dropped locally heavy rain in some places.\u00a0 Rivers and streams were above flood stage in several southern states.\u00a0 Flash Flood Warnings and Flash Flood Watches were issued for portions of the southern U.S. and Ohio River Valley.\u00a0 Several tornadoes formed in the bands of thunderstorms.\u00a0 A tornado in Alabama caused property damage.\u00a0 Southerly winds blowing toward the shore were still causing storm surges along the northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico.<\/p>\n
Tropical Depression Cindy is forecast to move northeast toward the Ohio River Valley on Friday.\u00a0 It will continue to produce locally heavy rain.\u00a0 A slow moving cold front will approach the region from the west.\u00a0 A band of stronger convergence could develop where the counterclockwise flow around Cindy interacts with the flow along the cold front.\u00a0 Higher rainfall totals may occur where this interaction happens.\u00a0 Wind shear created by the interacting weather systems could also create the potential for some tornadoes.\u00a0 Tropical Depression Cindy could merge with the cold front during Friday night or Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
