DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 1100 AM EDT (1500 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Chris was located near latitude 32.2 North, longitude 74.5 West. Chris has been nearly stationary the past several hours, and little motion is expected during the next day or so. A northeastward motion is forecast to begin late Tuesday, and Chris is forecast to accelerate northeastward on Wednesday and Thursday. Reports from a NOAA reconnaissance aircraft indicate that maximum sustained winds remain near 60 mph (95 km/h) with higher gusts. However, strengthening is expected to begin by tonight and continue for the next couple of days, and Chris is forecast to become a hurricane on Tuesday. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 70 miles (110 km) from the center. During the past few hours, NOAA buoy 41002 located just southwest of the center reported a sustained wind of 49 mph (79 km/h) and a gust to 59 mph (94 km/h). The estimated minimum central pressure based on data from a NOAA reconnaissance aircraft is 999 mb (29.50 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- SURF: Swells generated by Chris are expected to increase and affect portions of the coasts of North Carolina and the mid-Atlantic states during the next few days. These swells could cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.
