- On Friday evening, a tropical depression developed approximately 150 miles southeast of Charleston, South Carolina, with sustained winds near 35 mph, and it is anticipated to intensify into a tropical storm.
- Hurricane Hunters flew into the system Friday, discovering a low-level closed circulation and winds sufficient to classify it as Tropical Depression Three amid forecast uncertainties.
- A Tropical Storm Watch is active from Edisto Beach to Little River Inlet, South Carolina, indicating that winds exceeding 40 mph may impact the area from Saturday night through Sunday morning.
- Forecasters expect the storm to make landfall near Charleston around midnight between Saturday and Sunday, bringing gusty winds, minor coastal flooding, rip currents, and 2 to 4 inches of rain with localized six-inch totals.
- The system will likely weaken rapidly after landfall as it moves northeast through the Carolinas and southeastern Virginia, with most impacts confined to the Carolinas and minor effects inland into Georgia.
