Lede

 * 1) Tropical Storm Chris caused minor flooding along the Gulf Coast of the United States. → Tropical Storm Chris caused minor flooding along the Gulf Coast of the United States in September of 1982.
 * 2) Try not to use the name "Chris" in the lede so much.
 * 3) There was rainfalls as high as 16 inches (410 mm) in the southern parts and slightly less as the storm progressed northward. — This sentence as a whole is confusing, and the first portion of it is grammatically incorrect.
 * 4) Elsewhere, impact was limited mostly light to moderate rainfall, though local flooding was reported in Tennessee and Kentucky. — I think you are missing a word here?

Meteorological history

 * 1) Around reaching its peak, Chris made landfall near Sabine Pass, Port Arthur, Texas. — "Around when" isn't very "technical". How about "Shortly before (or after)".
 * 2) After moving inland, Chris initially weakened quickly, and was downgraded to a tropical depression by early on September 12 while centered over west-central Louisiana — I'd remove the word "initially" because it never slowed down weakening.
 * 3) Fifteen hours after that, a gale warning was released for Port Arthur to Port O'Connor, Texas. — "after that" → "afterwards".

Summary
I have to say, I am impressed with how well-written the rest of the article is. More points towards your WikiCup count. :-) – TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 01:30, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
