Radar and surface observations indicate that Cindy made landfall

At 400 AM CDT (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Cindy was

moving toward the north near 12 mph (19 km/h), and a turn toward
the north-northeast is expected tonight, followed by a turn toward
the northeast on Friday.  On the forecast track, the center will
move into southeastern Arkansas early Friday, and into Tennessee
later on Friday.

Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 40 mph (65 km/h) with
higher gusts.  Continued weakening is forecast during the next
48 hours, and Cindy should weaken to a tropical depression later
today, and become a remnant low tonight.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 70 miles (110 km)
to the southeast and southwest of the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 994 mb (29.36 inches).

Arkansas through Friday morning.  Additional rainfall amounts of 2
to 4 inches with isolated maximum amounts of 8 inches over southern
Mississippi, southern and central Alabama and extreme western
Florida Panhandle are expected through Friday morning.  This

Tennessee and Ohio valleys.  Rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches with
isolated maximum amounts of 4 inches are expected through Friday
morning.
