MIAMI – Tropical Storm Chris has strengthened slightly as it moves over the northern Atlantic, but it isn’t posing a threat to land.
The storm’s maximum sustained winds are near 50 mph (85 kph) on Wednesday and another small increase in wind speed was possible.
Chris is centred about 600 miles (970 kilometres) south of Cape Race, Newfoundland, and is moving east near 22 mph (35 kph).
A forecast map predicts that the storm will stay well away from land through the weekend, though storm tracks are hard to discern days in advance.
