The National Hurricane Center says a broad area of low pressure off the Southeastern coast has officially been designated Potential Tropical Cyclone Three, which could produce flooding rains along the Carolinas during the next few days.

This new storm will be short-lived, but it's expected to put a damper on holiday weekend plans along parts of the Southeast coast.

Forecasters with the National Weather Service said Tropical Storm Chantal is expected to move across the coast of South Carolina on Sunday.
