Official Advisory Discussion

At 400 AM CDT (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Chris was located near latitude 20.1 North, longitude 97.2 West.

On the forecast track, the center of Chris will continue farther inland over eastern Mexico through today.

Maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher gusts. Weakening is expected as Chris moves farther inland, and the system will likely dissipate over the higher terrain later today.
