At 1100 PM EDT (0300 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Chris was
located near latitude 32.3 North, longitude 74.3 West. Chris has
remained nearly stationary the past several hours, and little motion
is expected tonight. A northeastward motion should begin on
Tuesday, and Chris is forecast to accelerate northeastward on
Wednesday and Thursday.

Reports from a NOAA Hurricane Hunter aircraft indicate that maximum
sustained winds remain near 70 mph (110 km/h) with higher gusts.
Little change in strength is expected tonight. However, Chris is
expected to strengthen into a hurricane on Tuesday, with additional
strengthening expected Tuesday night and Wednesday.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 70 miles (110 km)
from the center.

The latest minimum central pressure reported by the Hurricane
Hunter aircraft is 995 mb (29.39 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.
