Looks like Tropical Storm Chris is turning into a dud. From the NHC web site…
Due to the inability of the Air Force reconnaissance aircraft to find any tropical storm strength winds, Chris was finally been downgraded to a tropical depression Friday morning. Despite an unfavorable overall environment, a flare up in thunderstorms closer to the circulation center could easily bring Chris back to minimal tropical storm status at any time.
In general this is a good thing. I certainly don’t wish the citizens of Cuba ill will, but I do wish ill will upon Fidel.
