Environment Canada is saying that Nova Scotia might be in the path of Tropical Storm Chris.

The storm, which is presently off the coast of Carolina is expected to remain somewhat stationary and become better organized.

By late Tuesday or early Wednesday this storm could attain hurricane status, when it appears that the storm could approach Nova Scotia by Thursday, likely weakening slightly as it does so.

Environment Canada says if the current forecast track remains as is, it is likely that regularly issued bulletins will begin on this system early Tuesday morning.
