Tropical Storm Chris

7:26 AM Tue, Aug 01, 2006 |

 E-mail

As of early this morning, our 3rd named system of the season has developed near the Leeward Islands. Chris should continue a WNW track through the week, with some gradual strengthening expected.

The exact track over the next few days will be important, for if he takes more of a northerly track, staying north of the islands, he will have a better chance for staying in the Atlantic, while more of a southerly track into the Caribbean would make it more likely to move into the gulf.

His development will also be dependent on the track, for the islands of Hispanola and Puerto Rico can weaken it significantly. Something to watch closely over the next several days.
