Tropical Storm Chris

The third tropical storm of the season, Chris, formed early this morning just east of the Leeward Islands. As of 8pm, the winds are at 60 mph and the minimum central pressure is 1003 mb. The high wind shear Chris was experiencing when it formed has now diminished, which increases the chances that it will instensify. Chris is currently forecast to become a hurricane by Friday afternoon and pass north of Cuba over the weekend.
