🌀 Tuesday video update on a tropical disturbance (dubbed "Invest 93L") near #Florida that will be monitored for potential development as it crosses into the northern Gulf. 🌀 Regardless of development, heavy rains over central-northern Florida spreading westward along the north gulf coast will raise flash flooding risks in the region.

🌀 New video update below on Tropical Depression Three (#TD3), which has formed off the southeast US coast with max winds 35 mph, and is expected to make landfall in #SouthCarolina early Sunday. 🌀 Vertical wind shear is keeping the storm broad and asymmetric, with most heavy weather east and northeast of the center. This will also prevent significant strengthening, but a slight increase in max winds could make TD3 a tropical storm (name would be "Chantal") before landfall. 🌀 Primary hazards will be strong winds and rip currents along the entire coastal Carolinas, along with potentially heavy rainfall, confined mostly northeast of the landfall point. Pay attention to information from NWS Charleston, SC, NWS Wilmington, NC, and other local NWS offices for the expected hazards in your particular area.
