A man drowned off the coast of North Carolina amid warnings about rough surf as Tropical Storm Chris formed more than 150 miles off the state’s coast.
Tropical Storm Chris was named on Sunday by the National Hurricane Center, and as of 5 p.m., was 180 miles south of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. While there are no warnings or watches, the National Hurricane Center warned about rough surf conditions, saying that “swells generated by Chris are expected to increase and affect portions of the coasts of North Carolina and the mid-Atlantic states into early next week.”
