Tropical Storm Chris
Chris is on his way. . . .
According to the National Hurricane Center, Tropical Storm Chris is expected to hit the USVI late tonight and continue through tomorrow morning. As explained in NOAA's local hurricane statement, the storm was located about an hour ago, 320 miles east of St Thomas, so it's just getting started. My inexperienced guess is that it's a lot better to have a storm hit early on in the storm's life than later. Seas are expected to reach 8-9 feet and 3-6 inches of rain are expected tonight and tomorrow. Tropical storm force winds are expected near St Thomas and St John Wednesday morning. An Airforce reserve aircraft is doing recon this afternoon to check out the storm.
