Chantal is no threat to the U.S. It is moving rapidly northeast as it is being absorbed by a cold front. Chantal should begin to lose its tropical characteristics and become "extratropical". Even though it will not be "tropical", it will still gain a little strength as it passes off the coast of Newfoundland and across the north Atlantic. This storm will be a menace to shipping through the end of the week and the weekend. The National Hurricane Center has issued the last advisories on Chantal as of 11pm Tuesday.
Another area being watched for possible development is a tropical wave east of the Windward Islands. The system remained disorganized Tuesday, but environmental conditions appear favorable for future development. Hurricane Hunter aircraft is scheduled to investigate this system, if necessary Wednesday.
A non tropical low pressure system is off the Carolina coast, and should remain offshore as it moves northeast.
