Tropical Storm Chris formed late yesterday in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico and made landfall in Mexico less than two hours later.
According to the National Hurricane Center, Chris had maximum sustained winds of 40 miles per hour.
The storm has been downgraded to a tropical depression as it continues to bring heavy rainfall and flooding over portions of eastern Mexico.
Chris became the third named storm of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season.
It enters the scene as meteorologists continue to monitor the "extremely dangerous" Hurricane Beryl and tropical disturbance 96L, which is following close behind.
