Tropical Update
Chris is now a post-tropical cyclone. Chris will brush by Newfoundland tonight near St. John’s before continuing to track northeast into the northern Atlantic. The remnants of Chris will approach Iceland by Sunday.
An area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms associated with the remnants of Beryl is located about midway between the Bahamas and Bermuda. Little or no development is expected through Friday while the system moves northeast. Environmental conditions could become a little more favorable over the weekend when the disturbance will be moving north over the warm waters of the western Atlantic and interacting with a strong upper-level trough.
* Formation chance through 48 hours: Low (10%)
* Formation chance through 5 days: Medium (50%)
