Tropical Storm Chris

Chris just formed in the Atlantic. Instantly the headlines went up on all South Florida newspapers (ex. here). Right now they are saying that it's not expected to reach hurricane status, but who really knows. They'll have a better idea tonight when the Hurricane Hunters fly into it. Apparently there is a tightrope where it could explode, but that's not expected. It might hit Florida anywhere between Sunday and Tuesday however.

I'm sure the Weather Channel is going nuts already.

UPDATE: As of the 11 AM EDT/AST advisory, Chris has not strengthened. The Hurricane Hunters are going out at 2 PM EDT/AST to investigate & then we'll know a lot more. The NHC is shifting the track a bit more northward, but that doesn' t really mean anything this far out yet.
