The Carolinas could see their first hurricane of the season on Monday, as Tropical Storm Chris strengthens.
Chris was upgraded from a tropical depression to a tropical storm on Sunday. The storm was sitting nearly still off the South Carolina coast on Sunday, about 160 miles south of Cape Hatteras. It was expected to move slowly up the coast this week.
While the storm was not expected to make landfall as of Sunday afternoon, it will bring “life threatening” rough surf and dangerous rip currents along the East Coast, the weather service said.
