000 WTNT43 KNHC 061436 TCDAT3 Tropical Depression Chantal Discussion Number 8 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL032025 1100 AM EDT Sun Jul 06 2025 The center of Chantal has been moving inland over northeastern South Carolina this morning and is currently near the North and South Carolina border. Surface observations indicate that the winds have decreased, and the system is now being classified as a 30-kt tropical depression. The cyclone should continue to weaken today as it moves farther inland. The global models show the circulation opening up into a trough of low pressure on Monday, with the remnant moisture moving northeastward along the eastern seaboard of the U.S. through early Tuesday. Chantal is moving northward or 360/8 kt. A turn toward the northeast is anticipated later today or this evening as the cyclone moves around the western side of a mid-level ridge located off the U.S. East Coast. The latest track prediction is similar to the previous advisory and is near the middle of the guidance envelope. The primary threat from Chantal will be heavy rainfall that is likely across portions of eastern and central North Carolina into Monday. This is the last advisory issued by the National Hurricane Center on Chantal. Future advisories on this system will be issued by the Weather Prediction Center beginning at 500 PM EDT (2100 UTC).

DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 500 AM EDT (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Chantal was located near latitude 33.6 North, longitude 79.1 West. Chantal is moving toward the north-northwest near 8 mph (13 km/h). A turn northward and then northeastward is anticipated over the next 24 hours. On the forecast track, the center of Chantal is expected to move further inland into South Carolina and then North Carolina through the day today. Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 50 mph (85 km/h) with higher gusts. Rapid weakening is anticipated now that Chantal has made landfall, with the system opening up into a trough in 36-48 hours. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 115 miles (185 km) from the center. In the past couple of hours, a sustained wind of 45 mph (72 km/h) was reported at Apache Pier, South Carolina. The estimated minimum central pressure based on nearby surface observations is 1004 mb (29.65 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- Key messages for Tropical Storm Chantal can be found in the Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT3 and WMO header WTNT43 KNHC. WIND: Tropical storm conditions are occurring in the warning area and should persist through this morning. RAINFALL: Tropical Storm Chantal is expected to produce heavy rainfall across portions of northeastern South Carolina today and across portions of North Carolina through Monday. Storm total rainfall of 2 to 4 inches, with local amounts up to 6 inches, is expected. This would result in an elevated risk for flash flooding.

000 WTNT43 KNHC 060848 TCDAT3 Tropical Storm Chantal Discussion Number 7 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL032025 500 AM EDT Sun Jul 06 2025 Before the Air Force Reconnaissance plane departed Chantal this morning, their final leg observed 700 mb flight level winds of 59 kt and a dropsonde estimated pressure down to 1002 mb. Near the same location as those peak flight-level winds, NWS Doppler Radar velocities from Wilmington showed persistent 65-70 kt inbound values at 3-5 thousand feet. These data points were the basis for increasing Chantal's winds to 50 kt at the 06 UTC intermediate advisory. Since that time, the structure of the tropical storm on radar has degraded and the exact center has been difficult to pin down, but appears to have made landfall near Litchfield Beach, South Carolina at approximately 08 UTC. The initial intensity has been lowered to 45 kt for this advisory given the degradation in appearance now just after landfall and the decreasing Doppler radial velocities. Chantal is estimated to now be moving north-northwestward, at 345/7 kt. A turn northward and then northeastward is anticipated by the end of today as the cyclone rounds the westward side of a mid-level ridge located off the U.S. East Coast. The latest NHC track forecast is shifted just a bit eastward, mostly based on the initial position, but falls in line closely to the prior forecast track in 24-36 h. Weakening has already started as Chantal moves inland. Weakening should continue as the full circulation moves inland, with Chantal likely weakening back to a tropical depression later today. The majority of the global and hurricane-regional models then show the circulation opening up into a trough after 36 h, though its likely Chantal's remnant moisture will continue onward into the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern United States after this time period. Chantal is expected to remain asymmetric with its strongest winds and rainfall to the right of the landfall location. Key Messages: 1. Tropical storm conditions are expected to continue in the warning area through this morning. 2. Heavy rainfall across portions of northeastern South Carolina will cause some flash flooding concerns from Tropical Storm Chantal today and across portions of North Carolina through Monday. Isolated to scattered flash flooding could occur within more urbanized areas. 3. Chantal is expected to bring life-threatening surf and rip currents along the coast from northeastern Florida to the Mid-Atlantic states during the next day or so. Beach goers should heed the advice of lifeguards and local officials.

Interests elsewhere along the southeast coast of the United States should monitor the progress of Chantal. For storm information specific to your area, including possible inland watches and warnings, please monitor products issued by your local National Weather Service forecast office. DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 200 AM EDT (0600 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Chantal was located near latitude 33.2 North, longitude 78.8 West. Chantal is moving toward the north near 8 mph (13 km/h). A motion toward the north-northwest is expected overnight, followed by a turn to the northeast by the end of today. On the forecast track, the center of Chantal is expected to move across the coast of South Carolina in the next few hours. Recent aircraft and land-based radar velocity data indicate that maximum sustained winds have increased to near 60 mph (95 km/h) with higher gusts. Little change in strength is expected before landfall, with rapid weakening forecast after landfall. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 140 miles (220 km) from the center. Within the past hour, Springmaid Pier in South Carolina reported a sustained wind of 47 mph (76 km/h) gusting to 56 mph (90 km/h). The estimated minimum central pressure based on Air Force dropsonde data is 1002 mb (29.59 inches).

Storm total rainfall of 2 to 4 inches, with local amounts up to 6 inches, is expected. This would result in an elevated risk for flash flooding. For a complete depiction of forecast rainfall and flash flooding associated with Tropical Storm Chantal, please see the National Weather Service Storm Total Rainfall Graphic, available at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at3.shtml?rainqpf STORM SURGE: The combination of storm surge and tide will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by rising waters moving inland from the shoreline. The water could reach the following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated areas if the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide... South Santee, SC to Surf City, NC...1-2 ft For a complete depiction of areas at risk of storm surge inundation, please see the National Weather Service Peak Storm Surge Graphic, available at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at5.shtml?peakSurge TORNADOES: Isolated tornadoes are possible today across parts of eastern South Carolina and eastern North Carolina.

000 WTNT43 KNHC 060249 TCDAT3 Tropical Storm Chantal Discussion Number 6 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL032025 1100 PM EDT Sat Jul 05 2025 Strong convection continues to persist in the northeastern quadrant of Chantal, with the center located on the southwestern edge of the burst. This convection has been causing a gradual increase in organization of the storm, with an Air Force Reserve reconnaissance aircraft recently reporting 850-mb flight-level winds of 57 kt, which equate to about 45 kt at the surface. This data is also close to derived velocity radar data from Wilmington, showing peak 8000 ft winds of about 55 kt, and TAFB's latest satellite classification of 45 kt. The current intensity is set to 45 kt in agreement with these values. The current motion estimate is 350/7, and Chantal could turn to the north-northwest before landfall due to a narrow mid-level ridge. A turn to the northeast is expected later on Sunday as Chantal becomes more embedded within the low- to mid-level flow around the west side of the ridge. There is little time left for any intensification, and Chantal should make landfall within the next 6 hours at about the present intensity (45-50 kt). Steady weakening will occur after landfall with the loss of the warm water heat source, and Chantal is expected to dissipate over eastern North Carolina by early Monday. The track forecast was nudged to the east, with little change to the intensity forecast. Chantal is expected to remain asymmetric with its strongest winds and rainfall to the right of the landfall location. Key Messages: 1. Tropical storm conditions are expected in the warning area beginning soon and continuing through Sunday morning. 2. Heavy rainfall across portions of North Carolina will cause flash flooding concerns through Monday, especially in urban areas. 3. Chantal is expected to bring life-threatening surf and rip currents along the coast from northeastern Florida to the Mid-Atlantic states during the next day or so. Beach goers should heed the advice of lifeguards and local officials.
