The regions indicated in red and orange will be the most affected by the system.

Currently, the system is located off the coasts of Georgia, the Carolinas, and northern Florida.

At 4:30 p.m. on Friday, July 4, the National Hurricane Center reported that the system, which is currently known as Tropical Depression Three, is situated approximately 100 miles off the northeast Florida coast.

It will be called Chantal if it turns into a tropical storm, which might occur on Saturday, July 5.

Its winds were 35 miles per hour, according to an Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft.

Parts of South Carolina are under a Tropical Storm Watch, with landfall anticipated on Sunday afternoon, July 6. (Refer to the first picture up above.)

Through Saturday, the system is predicted to bring significant rainfall to portions of west-central and southern Florida. By Saturday evening, its effects are forecast to extend to the Carolinas’ coastal regions.

As circulation tightens and atmospheric pressure decreases, forecasters predict that winds may increase along the coast. Over the long holiday weekend, there is a chance of heavy surf and higher seas from the Florida coast to the Outer Banks.

Since mid-June, meteorologists have been keeping an eye on the area.
