3. TECHNICAL DISCUSSION

A. ANALYSIS

THE STORM IS NOW POST-TROPICAL WITH HIGHER WINDS LIKELY NOT FAR ABOVE 
THE OCEAN SURFACE. THERE IS A STRONG GRADIENT IN SSTS BENEATH THE 
STORM NOW - WITH AVERAGE AROUND 15C.  CONVECTION IS VERY SHALLOW 
EXCEPT OVER THE SOUTHEAST PART OF THE CIRCULATION WHERE SSTS ARE 
WARMER.



B. PROGNOSTIC

THE STORM TRACKED FARTHER TO THE WEST TODAY AND IS SKIRTING THE OUTER 
EDGE OF THE GRAND BANKS MARINE FORECAST DISTRICT. THE REMNANT LOW 
ASSOCIATED WITH CHRIS WILL LIKELY BE FULLY-MERGED WITH THE LARGER 
NON-TROPICAL LOW TO THE EAST BY MIDNIGHT TONIGHT.
