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).
Those advisories can be found on the web at www.hurricanes.gov.

to continue at beaches along the U.S. east coast from northeastern
Florida to the Mid-Atlantic states during the next day or so. Beach
