A disturbance located about 100 miles offshore of the northeast Florida Coast could become a short-lived tropical depression or storm over the holiday weekend. Heavy rains and rip currents will be possible for parts of Florida, Georgia and the coastal Carolinas, and the storm could even get a name.

Tropical Depression Three formed Friday evening off the Florida and Georgia coasts and is expected to push into the Carolinas this weekend.

So, Tropical Depression #3 sits off the SE U.S. Coast, and it’s in an environment that could support gradual intensification. The official forecast from the National Hurricane Center has T.D. #13 becoming a tropical storm before making a landfall across the Carolinas sometime this weekend. It’ll get the name Chantal.
