WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Tropical Depression 3 has formed off the Southeast U.S. coast late Friday afternoon.
Models continue to keep it a brief system, pulling it towards the South Carolina Sunday morning. A tropical storm watch has been issued for portions of South Carolina as the depression is expected to become a tropical storm before making landfall.
The next name on the list is Chantal.
Since it's pulling north away from our state, any impacts to our area will be minimal. In fact, our rain chances will decrease early next week as the tropical moisture moves north and some slightly drier air moves in.
