Tropical Storm Chris is whipping up after forming in less than 24-hours and going from a Tropical Depression to a Tropical Storm with 60 mph sustained winds and growing. In its path lie Puerto Rico, which is preparing for a pummeling. This is the Third named Storm of the 2006 Atlantic Tropical Hurricane Season. August is noted to be a very strong and violent hurricane month and it looks like the Atlantic Tropical Hurricane Season knows this as Tropical Storm Chris forms on the first day of August, 2006.
Also in Tropical Storm Chris’s path are Haiti, Dominican Republic, Cuba and Bahamas. Is the Continental United States in danger? Tropical Storm Chris could possibly weaken or it might grow and could impact weather in Florida as well. Currently although it is a 60 mph Tropical Storm it probably will not do too much damage to Puerto Rico, although there will be significant rainfall in the 5 inches range, with very high winds.
There is another Tropical Storm forming just above Tropical Storm Chris, which could affect Tropical Storm Chris. If the second storm forms it will be called; Tropical Storm Debby. Then we can expect Tropical Storm Ernesto to follow those. We will see all these tropical storms this month and perhaps they will grow into hurricanes. Please consider all this in 2006.
