Chris lost his battle with the shear and ULL, and now will probably weaken to a Tropical Depression this evening. While there is always a chance that he could “spin back up” in the Gulf, indications now are that he will dissipate.
However, the next 24 hours could be dramatic if some of the factors weaken Chris change.
Elsewhere the Atlantic is fairly quiet, there is a wave near the Cape Verde islands, but this time of year it seems like there is always a wave coming off the coast of Africa.
I’ll continue monitoring Chris and update as needed, but at this time, it looks like the three factors in my earlier posting are doing a nice job of killing his potential for growth.
