**Miami Faces Stormy 4th of July Weekend as Tropical Storm Chantal Forms**
**MIAMI (CBSMiami) -** South Florida residents celebrating the Fourth of July weekend are bracing for a series of rainstorms, while the National Hurricane Center monitors Tropical Storm Chantal, which is projected to make landfall in South Carolina.
The CBS News Miami NEXT Weather team, led by weekend morning meteorologist Scott Withers, forecasts several rounds of rainstorms across the Miami and Fort Lauderdale areas on Saturday between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. While the rain is expected to ease by Saturday evening, additional showers are likely on Sunday.
The early work week should be mainly dry. Rain will return towards the middle of next week.
The increased humidity due to the rain is expected to make temperatures feel close to 100 degrees Fahrenheit across Southeast Florida.
Tropical Depression Three was upgraded to Tropical Storm Chantal early Saturday morning. The storm is expected to remain at tropical storm strength as it moves towards the mid-South Carolina coast, where it is expected to make landfall early Sunday morning. Fortunately, Chantal is not expected to impact Florida.
The National Hurricane Center reports no other immediate potential tropical developments are being monitored for the next week.
