Tropical Depression Three has formed off the Southeast coast, expected to strengthen into Tropical Storm Chantal, bringing rain, gusty winds, rip currents, and potential minor flooding to the Carolinas, with impacts lasting through the weekend.
The holiday weekend forecast indicates possible showers in Times Square, New York, during the New Year's Eve ball drop, with temperatures in the upper 30s. Meanwhile, the West Coast, particularly California, is facing dangerous beach conditions with high surf warnings, including waves up to 40 feet and strong rip currents, posing risks of drowning and coastal damage. The rest of the country is expected to be mostly dry, with some snow showers in parts of West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and western New York. The weather is expected to calm down in California by Sunday and Monday, but another storm is anticipated to hit the West Coast on Tuesday, potentially affecting a large portion of the country later in the week.
