Three has been intermittently producing winds to tropical storm force for the better part of its time over water for the past 24 hours or so. Although recon initially found an elongated closed low, while they were in there today, THREE became sufficiently organized to be classified a Depression.

With winds intermittently at or above 34 knots and its improving structure, the cyclone is likely to be named soon. The next name on the list is Chris.

Future-Chris probably does not have much time left over water, but just enough time to make for a significant flooding risk once again in eastern Mexico. Dissipation over the mountains by Tuesday or Wednesday is likely, and this is shown in most modeling.
