Tropical Storm Chris threatens Florida Keys

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - It must be August, because South Florida is in the cone of uncertainty.
Bulking up quickly, Tropical Storm Chris emerged in the western Atlantic on Tuesday, threatening to intensify into a minimal hurricane and take aim for the Florida Straits by Sunday.
For now, Cuba and the Florida Keys appear to be under the gun, as the forecast track takes the system just north of Havana. Several models point the storm across Cuba or south of it.
However, even on its projected path, it could graze South Florida and bring stormy conditions. There also is the possibility it could veer in the direction of South Florida. If so, the region could start feeling it on Saturday, forecasters said.
"We have shifted the track farther to the south, but we can't rule out South Florida this early in the game," said meteorologist Jennifer Pralgo of the National Hurricane Center. "So people really need to monitor this thing."
