Southern New Jersey counties are most likely to experience heavy downpours, with potential rainfall totals between 1 to 2 inches

Heavy rain is predicted across portions of the coastal plain of the Carolinas through Monday. Two to 4 inches, with local amounts up to 6 inches, is expected.

A tropical storm watch stretches along the coast from Edisto Beach, S.C., to the South Santee River. The hurricane center said those elsewhere along the southeast coast of the United States should also keep an eye on Chantal. Chantal is expected to track slowly to the north and then northwest and move onshore in South Carolina by Sunday morning.
