SUMMARY: Tropical Storm Chantal is approaching the Carolinas, expected to make landfall around 8 a.m., moving slowly at 8 mph. The storm remains at tropical storm status without intensifying. North Carolina faces a risk of flash flooding from now through Monday, so travelers should stay updated on forecasts. South Carolina will also be affected, but Georgia is expected to remain mostly dry with only increased cloud cover and a slight chance of sprinkles. After landfall, Chantal will weaken into a low-pressure system with its heavier rain staying north, minimizing impacts in Georgia. Residents are urged to monitor updates closely.
