How will Tropical Storm Chantal impact New Jersey?
North Jersey residents can expect one more day of mostly sunny skies on Sunday, July 6, to close out the holiday weekend, but forecasters warn of storms and "uncomfortably muggy" conditions arriving early in the week. Highs will reach near 90 in most areas on Sunday, and humidity is expected to noticeably rise by the afternoon, according to the National Weather Service. Scattered showers and storms on Monday and Tuesday will bring the potential for 'torrential downpours, localized flooding and gusty winds." "It's going to be warmer [Sunday] than it has been in the past couple of days," said National Weather Service meteorologist Matthew Wunsch. "So as we get into tomorrow, it will start to get a little more unsettled. It will get progressively cloudier. High temps will still be pretty warm, with forecasts in the upper 80s to lower 90s." Moisture will rise and it will "make it feel significantly muggy outside" early in the week, Wunsch added. "We have a frontal system that will make its approach tomorrow with also remnants of what is right now Tropical Storm Chantal. The moisture from that system will progressively make its way up there," Wunsch said. The National Weather Service is not anticipating widespread flooding, Wunsch added, but storms could produce locally heavy rainfall with a potential for localized flooding. Showers are likely to begin by Monday afternoon. Tropical Storm Chantal, the third tropical storm of the 2025 Atlantic season, made landfall near Litchfield Beach, South Carolina, at around 4 a.m. on Sunday, July 6, USA TODAY reported. The storm began to weaken as it barreled inland across South Carolina, though the storm still brought a threat of flash flooding, possible tornadoes and dangerous rip current conditions. Forecasters said the storm, which has seen its winds decrease steadily through the morning, could weaken to a tropical depression later on July 6. While the storm is expected to continue weakening, it was still likely "to produce heavy rainfall across portions of northeastern South Carolina today and across portions of North Carolina through Monday," the National Hurricane Center said. Total rainfall of 2 to 4 inches, and local amounts up to 6 inches, were expected. "The combination of storm surge and tide will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by rising waters moving inland from the shoreline," the center warned. Meanwhile, from the Carolinas to the Florida coast, Chantal was expected to produce "life-threatening surf and rip currents" into next week, the hurricane center said.
