Hurricane Chris is about 315 miles east of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. Movement is to the northeast at 22 mph. The maximum sustained winds are near 105 mph. Some additional strengthening is possible over the next 6 to 12 hours. However, we haver seen some indication of a weakening trend beginning soon on satellite imagery. Regardless, the winds will remain either unchanged or increase some before they begin decreasing this evening. Chris will be extratropical before arriving in the Newfoundland area Thursday evening, but will still produce widespread gales and locally heavy rainfall to eastern and southeastern Newfoundland on Thursday and into early Friday morning.
