Tropical Depression #6 has strengthened into Tropical Storm Chris at 11
am today when it was located 410 miles east of Antigua.
 
Although no immediate watches or warnings are posted, residents of
Antigua and other states of the Leeward Islands have been advised to
carefully monitor the progress of Chris.
 
Recon aircraft are due in the system at 2 pm and that will help to
pinpoint the eye which has so far been elusive on satellite. Once the eye
is located a better sense of its track will be established and we will
know then whether any watches or warnings would be needed for any
islands.
