Issued at 1100 AM EDT Sun Jul 06 2025 000 WTNT43 KNHC 061436 TCDAT3 Tropical Depression Chantal Discussion Number 8 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL032025 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. Key Messages: 1.Flash flood concerns continue today across portions of central North Carolina into Monday. Isolated to scattered flash flooding could occur within more urbanized areas. 2. Life-threatening surf and rip currents conditions are expected 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 goers should heed the advice of lifeguards and local officials.

...CHANTAL MOVING INTO EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA... ...FLASH FLOOD THREAT CONTINUES AS RAINBANDS MOVE ACROSS CENTRAL AND EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA... As of 11:00 AM EDT Sun Jul 06 the center of Chantal was located near 34.4, -79.2 with movement N at 9 mph. The minimum central pressure was 1007 mb with maximum sustained winds of about 35 mph.

MD 1575 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR EAST NORTH CAROLINA

The overall tornado potential should remain low enough to preclude the need for a TC-related Tornado Watch. However, trends will be monitored. DISCUSSION...A marginal increase in tornado potential may occur this morning as Tropical Storm Chantal continues to move inland. This marginal increase would coincide with modest diurnal heating increasing and several feeder bands streaming inland on the eastern semicircle of Chantal. The onshore environment containing these feeder bands has little instability at present and the low-level storm-relative helicity is on the lower side of land-falling tropical cyclones. That said, the low-level storm-relative helicity still remains sufficient for low-level rotation with stronger thunderstorm updrafts. Present thinking is that the limited instability and modest low-level helicity should preclude any longer duration/larger area tornado threat and thus a TC-related tornado watch is not currently anticipated. However, trends will continue to be evaluated for increasing buoyancy and/or low-level helicity. ..Marsh/Bunting.. 07/06/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 1574 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR SOUTHWEST SOUTH DAKOTA AND NORTH-CENTRAL NEBRASKA
Mesoscale Discussion 1574 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0714 AM CDT Sun Jul 06 2025 Areas affected...southwest South Dakota and north-central Nebraska Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely Valid 061214Z - 061415Z Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent SUMMARY...Ongoing thunderstorms should persist for another couple of hours before weakening. Isolated hail and a damaging wind gust or two will remain possible in the near term. A watch is not currently expected. DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms continue this morning across southwest South Dakota along the southwest portion of a remnant MCS that moved across this region overnight. These thunderstorms appear to be driven by isentropic ascent focused atop a residual cold pool left over from the overnight convection. This shows up as strong warm-air advection centered around 700 MB in regional mesoanalysis. Mesoanalysis also indicates a rich CAPE reservoir to the southwest of the ongoing storms, within the thunderstorm source/inflow region, providing additional buoyancy. With time, diurnal heating should begin to modify the existing cold pool and weaken the isentropic ascent/WAA leading to a downward trend in thunderstorm intensity. Before this weakening occurs, lapse rates do not appear particular steep this morning per RAP-model forecast soundings, and an isotherms layer extends upward from the surface to around 800 mb. This should limit the severe potential to isolated hail and perhaps a damaging wind gust or two -- realistically only in the most intense cores. A watch is not anticipated. ..Marsh/Bunting.. 07/06/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...LBF...UNR...CYS...

SPC 1300Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0753 AM CDT Sun Jul 06 2025 Valid 061300Z - 071200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PORTIONS OF THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS... ...SUMMARY... Scattered storms capable of producing severe wind gusts and large hail are expected along the central High Plains. A few instances of 2+ inch diameter hail and significant severe gusts are possible. ..Central High Plains to the Southern Plains... A mid-level impulse along the northern periphery of the Southwest U.S. upper-level ridge will move east across the central High Plains this afternoon. Steep mid-level lapse rates will contribute to moderate/strong surface-based instability, and around 35-45 kts of deep-layer shear will support supercell structures. Isolated thunderstorm development is expected by mid-late afternoon as ascent with the mid-level impulse overspreads the high Plains. These storms will pose a risk for large to very large hail (2 inches or greater in diameter) and strong gusts. Some eventual upscale growth is expected as cold pool mergers occur, and damaging gusts, possibly significant, becomes a greater concern. Along the OK-KS border, scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop along a frontal boundary this afternoon. Mixed-layer CAPE of 2000-2500 J/kg will be in place, along with 15-20 kts of northerly mid-level flow. Isolated stronger multicell storms or small clusters will be capable of strong/severe gusts through early evening. ...Great Lakes into the Ohio Valley... A cold front will move east today across portions of Lower MI and the northern OH Valley. A mid-level impulse within the westerlies will move across the area this afternoon and contribute modest large-scale ascent. Somewhat stronger flow with this impulse, combined with pockets of moderate MLCAPE (1000-1500 J/kg) will support multicell clusters this afternoon capable of producing isolated severe wind gusts. ...Maine... Scattered thunderstorm development is anticipated this afternoon in association with an eastward-moving cold front. Although instability should remain rather modest (approaching 1000 J/kg), strong westerly mid-level flow will result multicell and possibly transient supercell storms moving quickly east. Damaging gusts will be the primary severe hazard. ...Eastern North Carolina Vicinity... Tropical Storm Chantal is forecast by the National Hurricane Center to weaken and become post tropical tonight while moving north/northeast across NC/eastern VA (see latest NHC forecasts for details). Across eastern NC today, isolated low-topped supercells may develop within a weakly unstable atmosphere. Although low-level shear will not be particularly strong given the weakening nature of the tropical cyclone, it may prove sufficient for a couple tornadoes, especially with any sustained storm that can develop within areas of greater diurnal heating/instability. ..Bunting/Marsh.. 07/06/2025 Read more

Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher gusts. Additional weakening is expected as Chantal moves inland, and the system is forecast to degenerate into a trough of low pressure on Monday. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 80 miles (130 km) mainly over water to the southeast of the center. In the past couple of hours, a sustained wind of 33 mph (54 km/h) with a gust to 47 mph (76 km/h) was reported at Coastal Research and Monitoring Program buoy just off Sunset Beach, North Carolina. The estimated minimum central pressure based on nearby surface observations is 1005 mb (29.68 inches).
