Tropical Storm Chris - Update 5

The National Hurricane Center still hasn't downgraded Chris to a tropical depression. The satellite picture looks particularly unhealthy, but the official position is that Chris has maximum sustained winds of 40 mph and a minimum central pressure of 1012 mb. Chris will mainly be a rain event for the Carribbean. The current forecast has it being a tropical storm in the Gulf and eventually making landfall in southern Texas or northern Mexico.
