Tropical Storm Chantal developed off the coast of Florida around 8 a.m. Saturday and the system is moving slowly north at just 2 mph, becoming the season's third named storm.
While the storm poses no direct threat to Florida, it will contribute to scattered showers and isolated storms across the region this weekend.

Tropical storm watches and warnings have been issued from southern North Carolina through South Carolina, where conditions could begin as early as Sunday evening. Strong winds and heavy rainfall are expected to be the main threats.
