Tropical Storm Chantal forecast to form off coast of Carolinas Saturday
The third tropical depression of the season formed Friday afternoon off the South Carolina coast and was forecast to strengthen into Tropical Storm Chantal. The storm, located 1650 miles south-southeast of Charleston, S.C., has top winds of 35 mph, according to the 5 a.m. Saturday advisory from the National Hurricane Center. A tropical depression is the weakest form of tropical cyclone, a circulating weather system which in the case of a depression has winds of 38 mph or less. The depression is forecast to barely reach tropical storm strength, with top winds of 40 mph, by the time it hits the South Carolina coast on Saturday. If it becomes a tropical storm, it would be named Chantal. The storm, currently stationary, is forecast to drift northwestward and then move inland over the southeastern United States by Sunday. Rain and thunderstorms are likely in South Florida through this week and into next week, according to the National Weather Service forecast. Heavy rain is expected particularly for the west-central and southwestern Florida coast through early Saturday, the NHC said. On Friday, South Florida experienced scattered thunderstorms in the morning that became more widespread in the afternoon. As the evening progresses, rain chances will decrease. Don't expect better outdoor weather on Saturday. The chance of rain increases to 90% with thunderstorms likely. Colorado State University's hurricane forecast for 2025 estimates 17 named storms, with nine of them becoming hurricanes. Hurricane season runs through Nov. 30.

Are You Ready for Slushy Summer?
Cheers, everyone! It's Matthew Kronsberg here for Pursuits, and this summer I've decided that, rather than complain about the heat, I'd do something about it. No, I'm not going to migrate northward for a ' coolcation ' or hang ten in a massive wave pool. Instead this is going to be my summer of slush—it should be yours too. For the past few weeks, as New York turned into an open-air pizza oven, I've kept cool with a refreshing round robin of homemade frosé, soft serve and frosty margaritas. I've been testing a pair of countertop contraptions: the new $575 GreenPan Frost, a soft serve ice cream and frozen drink maker, and the $350 Ninja Slushi, which makes only frozen drinks. But it wasn't all colorful beverages and paper umbrellas—I've also faced a daily duel with sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia, better known as brain freeze. I tell you this not as a bid for your pity, but only to note that even the cushiest assignments have their hazards.

Lake campgrounds close in Kansas due to high water levels
TOPEKA (KSNT) – Some Kansas campgrounds are temporarily closed this summer due to the aftereffects of recent rainfall. The Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) reports on its newly created Recreation Operational Status website that several campgrounds across Kansas are not accessible this month due to high water levels. The Tulsa District of the USACE published a list of the campgrounds which are temporarily closed due to flooding. The closures come alongside other recreational shutdowns the USACE announced earlier this year that went into effect on May 15 due to a staffing shortage. Many parts of Kansas recently received large amounts of rainfall which have raised the water levels at some reservoirs maintained by USACE staff.
