A tropical storm watch stretches along the coast from Edisto Beach, S.C., to the South Santee River. The hurricane center said those elsewhere along the southeast coast of the United States should also keep an eye on Chantal. Chantal is expected to track slowly to the north and then northwest and move onshore in South Carolina by Sunday morning.

Chantal made landfall near Litchfield Beach, South Carolina, at approximately 4 a.m. July 6 and is moving inland into South Carolina.

A disturbance off the coast of the southeast United States – east of Florida, near Georgia and South Carolina – became better organized Friday to become Tropical Depression 3. It was previously known as Invest 92L.
