STEPHEN FRAZIER, CNN ANCHOR: Packing intense winds and a lot of rain, Tropical Storm Chantal is on the move tonight, churning toward the Caribbean on a westward course. The storm, which is now just short of hurricane strength, is moving fast towards Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. Countries from Belize all the way north to Cancun, Mexico have been placed under a hurricane watch. For the latest on Chantal's wanderings, let's go now to CNN meteorologist Brad Huffines. It's not really wandering, but moving rather purposefully -- Brad.</s>BRAD HUFFINES, CNN METEOROLOGIST: Yeah, Chantal has definitely been moving purposefully for the past several days. Right now, Chantal continues to be in the Caribbean moving west about 16 miles an hour. Over the next two or three days, Chantal will continue that track, should move through Cancun, Mexico late Monday or Tuesday morning. It should move ashore, move across the Yucatan Peninsula, then into the Gulf of Mexico. Once that happens, the storm continues to be worth watching, because of the fact that once it gives into the Gulf, upper level winds don't look right now to be predictable, to show which way the storm will go. I would definitely say if you live from New Orleans to Brownsville, make sure to check your supplies, just in case. And stay tuned to CNN all week long. 8:00 advisory is out, still 70 mph winds, still moving west northwest at 16 miles an hour. The center of the storm still just off the clouds. So we have been talking about how it is disorganized, but Stephen, a disorganized storm at 70 mph still has 70 miles per hour winds and heavy rains.</s>FRAZIER: Let's hope it doesn't find an organizer then, Brad. Thanks very much. Talk to you later. TO ORDER A VIDEO OF THIS TRANSCRIPT, PLEASE CALL 800-CNN-NEWS OR USE OUR SECURE ONLINE ORDER FORM LOCATED AT www.fdch.com
