Hurricane Watch in the lower Bahamas
Things are getting more serious...a Hurricane Watch has been posted in the lower Bahamas. It looks like by the time Chris gets there it could be a Cat 1 or Cat 2 hurricane. Most likely it'll hit Key West head on & then head out into the warm Gulf waters. That would be really bad for Mexico (hit by Stan), Houston (Rita), New Orleans (Cindy & Katrina), Pensacola (Dennis & Ivan) or Southwest Florida (Wilma & Charley). We shall see....
Most likely he'll be a hurricane by the 2 PM or 5 PM advisory.
UPDATE: Chris is not yet a hurricane but will probably be so within 24 hours. Monroe County, Florida (i.e. the Keys) has issued a press release about Chris. As of now there are no watches, warnings or evacuations, but there could be as early as the morning depending on how he does this evening in terms of tracking and strengthening.
