Tropical Storm Chantal To Make Landfall Tonight In The Carolinas!

James Kaufman weather report today, July 5th, 2025. God bless you and yours, no matter where you are in the world. Please subscribe, give us a thumbs up, ring that bell for critical future updates. Ladies and gentlemen, we've had Tropical Storm Chantel form off the coast of Georgia and South Carolina. And it appears to be inbound for the Carolinas. We'll take a look at the timing of that and the different spaghetti models that have been issued just moments ago. We'll also run it through AI, which does not agree with spaghetti models. Again, tropical storm Chantel has formed. It very well might become a hurricane. 45 mile per hour sustained winds. 1,006 millibars central pressure moving north at 3 miles an hour. Before that, we'll take a quick look at the two storms forming. In the Pacific, off the coast of Mexico, one with an 80% chance of formation in the next several days, and one that looks like it may join one in front of it with only a 20% chance of formation in the next several days. These do look like they're headed out to sea, which means the Hawaiian Islands could be in play. Headed over to my box hurricane enhanced satellite. This is the latest and greatest here, and you can see, It looks like it's headed towards North Carolina, but that's not what the spaghetti models tell us. Also, it looks like there's another disturbance brewing in the Gulf of Mexico down here. All right, so you're taking a look now at the official national hurricane track. It looks like it brings it ashore around 8 p.m. Saturday. which is about four hours from now the sustained winds at around 50 miles an hour it looks like moves from there into North Carolina take a look at the spaghetti models and then an AI and we'll take a look at the differences of the three all right even though it looks like it's going into North Carolina all the spaghetti models are in agreement it's going to take it Right into the Charleston, South Carolina area. It's going to take a sharp turn towards the northeast and stick near the coast and go right through North Carolina into Virginia to see how that plays out. And all the spaghetti models are pretty much in agreement here. So we have a good probability of this happening. Jumping over to windy.com, you can see it hugging the coast there of Georgia. And South Carolina, we can see that Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina are already receiving heavy winds and rain from the outer bands of the system. Let's put it in play and see what AI does with it. Looks like it wants to go into North Carolina, to me, based on Windy's AI here, perhaps even hug the coast and move north and maybe not make landfall at all. Now, with all the spaghetti models taking it into South Carolina, I'm going to go with landfall tonight around 8 p.m. in South Carolina, although that's not what windy.com's AI does with it. That said, we officially have our third named storm in the Atlantic for the 2025 season, Chantel. Please be safe. Warn your friends and family on the East Coast. they may not be aware of the quick formation of Chantal please share subscribe and always remember that anything's possible bizarro world
