Tropical Depression Three formed along the coast of South Carolina, and it will continue to move northwest. The depression has a small window to form into a tropical storm sometime Saturday afternoon. If upgraded to a tropical storm, it will be named Chantal.

Tropical Depression is moving slowly to the north and has time to turn to a tropical storm before landfall.

Tropical Depression Three will cause rip currents, flooding, and gusty winds throughout the weekend. Eventually, the storm will make landfall early Sunday. Once it interacts with land, it will lose strength while dumping rain through the Carolinas as it moves north.
