SPC 1630Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook

Valid 051630Z - 061200Z
...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVENING FROM SOUTHEAST MONTANA AND NORTHEAST WYOMING INTO
WESTERN SOUTH DAKOTA...
...SUMMARY...
Scattered severe storms are likely across portions of the northern
High Plains this afternoon through the evening. Severe wind gusts
and large hail are the primary hazards.
...Northern High Plains...
Morning water vapor loop shows a shortwave trough progressing into
southern ID. This feature will move across the northern Rockies,
spreading large scale forcing into much of MT this afternoon.
Scattered thunderstorms are expected to form over the mountains of
southwest MT and northern WY during the early/mid afternoon and
spread eastward into a progressively more moist/buoyant air mass.
Easterly low-level winds in the Plains, coupled with favorable
westerly flow aloft will promote supercell storm structures capable
of large hail. Most 12z CAM guidance suggests upscale growth to
bowing segments as storms track across eastern MT/WY into western
SD, with an increasing risk of significant wind damage.
...CO/KS...
Full sunshine is occurring this morning over northeast CO, leading
to afternoon temperatures in the 90s and steep low-level lapse
rates. High-based convection will form off the foothills during the
afternoon and move into this environment that will be favorable for
strong downdrafts. A consensus of morning model guidance suggests a
cluster of storms will evolve from this area, spreading eastward
into western KS this evening. Locally damaging wind gusts will be
possible. Have extended the SLGT risk southward to include this
scenario.
...SC/NC...
Tropical Storm Chantal will track northward today, approaching the
SC coast by early Sunday morning. Forecast soundings suggest that
low-level shear will steadily increase through the night along the
coast of eastern SC and southern NC. Outer rain bands associated
with the system will pose a MRGL risk of tornadoes.

Interests elsewhere along the southeast coast of the United States
should monitor the progress of Chantal.
For storm information specific to your area, including possible
inland watches and warnings, please monitor products issued by your
local National Weather Service forecast office.
DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1100 AM EDT (1500 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Chantal was
located near latitude 31.1 North, longitude 78.7 West. Chantal is
moving toward the north near 1 mph (2 km/h). A slow motion toward
the north-northwest is expected to begin later today, followed by a
turn to the northeast by Sunday night. On the forecast track, the
center of Chantal is expected to move across the coast of South
Carolina Sunday morning.
Maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher gusts.
Some strengthening is expected before Chantal reaches the coast.
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 90 miles (150 km)
primarily east of the center.
The estimated minimum central pressure based on dropsonde data is
1007 mb (29.74 inches).
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
Key messages for Tropical Storm Chantal can be found in the
Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT3 and WMO
header WTNT43 KNHC.
WIND: Tropical storm conditions are expected in the warning area
beginning this evening and continuing through Sunday morning.
Tropical storm conditions are possible in the watch area beginning
later today.
RAINFALL: Tropical Storm Chantal is expected to produce heavy
rainfall across portions of the coastal plain of the Carolinas
through Monday. Storm total rainfall of 2 to 4 inches, with local
amounts up to 6 inches, is expected and these rains could cause
flash flooding.
For a complete depiction of forecast rainfall and flash flooding
associated with Tropical Storm Chantal, please see the National
Weather Service Storm Total Rainfall Graphic, available at
hurricanes.gov/graphics_at3.shtml?rainqpf
STORM SURGE: The combination of storm surge and tide will cause
normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by rising waters
moving inland from the shoreline. The water could reach the
following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated areas if
the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide...
South Santee River, SC to Surf City, NC...1-3 ft
Edisto Beach, SC to South Santee River, SC...1-2 ft
TORNADOES: Isolated tornadoes are possible tonight into Sunday
along the coast of eastern South Carolina and much of North
Carolina.
SURF: The tropical storm is expected to bring life-threatening
surf and rip currents along the coast from northeastern Florida to
the Mid-Atlantic states during the next couple of days.
A depiction of rip current risk for the United States can be found
at: hurricanes.gov/refresh/graphics_at3+shtml/?ripCurrents

Tropical Storm Chantal Discussion Number 4
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL032025
1100 AM EDT Sat Jul 05 2025
Satellite images suggest that Chantal has been organizing and
gaining strength. The storm is still asymmetric though, with most
of the associated showers and thunderstorms located near and to the
east of the center. The Air Force Hurricane Hunters are currently
investigating the system and have found that the pressure has
dropped to 1007 mb. The plane has yet to sample the area of strong
thunderstorms, where the highest winds are likely occurring. The
initial intensity is set at 35 kt for now. The outer rainbands are
beginning to reach portions of South and North Carolina, and
conditions along the coast within the watch and warning areas are
expected to continue to deteriorate throughout the day.
Chantal has barely moved since last night, but a motion to the
north-northwest is expected to begin soon. The main steering
features appear to be a mid- to upper-level low over the Gulf and a
narrow mid-level ridge across the mid-Atlantic region. The flow
between these features should cause Chantal to move inland over
South Carolina Sunday morning. It should be noted that center
reformations are possible, which could cause some erratic motion.
After landfall, a turn to the northeast is expected when the storm
moves on the western side of the ridge. The NHC track forecast lies
close to the previous one, and the latest HCCA and Google Deep Mind
solutions.
Additional strengthening seems likely in the short term as Chantal
is expected to remain over warm water and move into a lower wind
shear environment. In addition, the shear direction is expected to
shift from southwesterly to southerly, which is more conducive for
strengthening. The NHC intensity forecast is a little higher than
the previous one, and in line with the latest HMON, HAFS-A, and
HAFS-B guidance. After landfall, steady weakening is expected until
the system dissipates in 48 to 60 hours.
Chantal is expected to remain a lopsided system during the next day
or so. Therefore, the strongest winds are anticipated to occur to
the right of the landfall location.
Key Messages:
1. Tropical storm conditions are expected in the warning area
beginning this evening and continuing through Sunday morning.
2. Heavy rainfall across the coastal Carolinas will cause some flash
flooding through Monday. Isolated to scattered flash flooding could
occur within more urbanized areas in the coastal plain of the
Carolinas.
3. Chantal is expected to bring life-threatening surf and rip
currents along the coast from northeastern Florida to the
Mid-Atlantic states during the next couple of days. Beach goers
should heed the advice of lifeguards and local officials.
