then we have the named storm in tropical storm chantal and chantal with winds of 45 miles an hour still over 2,000 miles from miami, but we will be tracking chantal in detail because the track does take her eventually up into the east coast of florida and perhaps beyond. so all eyes on chantal. tonight 72, stays sticky, 88, hot and humid and still see evening showers. tonight down to 70. any showers should diminish quickly. each afternoon will feature more showers. this looks more numerous wednesday into thursday. a cold front comes through and will partially clear us out. we keep some threat for showers and storms around. by the way, temperatures dropping but not dramatically. mid-80s. it will be cooler than our 4th of july was but a couple steamy days ahead. >> steamy. steamy. >> let's talk about clan tal. her name is chantal and she's already got winds topping 40 miles an hour. >> third named storm of the atlantic season. the impact is still uncertainty. meteorologist mike masco has more. >> we have a plane in here. we're going to start to gather more data. the small storm is startin

here is the latest on chantal. let me pinpoint it for you because this thing is 320 miles east southeast of barbados as of the last update but i tell you the hurricane hunters were investigating and they found it was getting stronger. it now has winds of 50 miles an hour. the concern is for the caribbean islands is the same concern we have in the eastern united states. they've had double their normal rainfall. san juan puerto rico has had 13 inches since june 1st. it's moving rapidly northwest at 26. it looks like it will go through the lesser antilles tomorrow and haiti wednesday with winds getting stronger up to 70 miles an hour. that keeps it just under hurricane strength. and then you can see it makes that turn and we may see it near the bahamas saturday afternoon. much weaker down to 35 miles per hour and a depression. but some of that rain could get pulled into the southeastern u.s. that's what we'll be watching closely. more details on what we can expect when i join you later. >> sue, looking forward to seei

yes, as you may recall, we have been tracking the storm system, tropical storm chantal, but now it has become a remnant low pressure system just south of haiti. yesterday was the peak of the stormy conditions across the caribbean. let me show aw video coming out from the region. tropical storm chantal has lost some of its force but it is still threatening floods across the dominican republic and other countries. fishing has been suspended in santo domingo because of the rough seas. the remnants of chantal are expected to affect jamaica, eastern cuba through thursday and then towards the florida peninsula by friday. so pulling you back, you can see this storm system still bringing cloud formation over the countries. it looks like it will bring the bulk of the rain across eastern cuba and also hispaniola. so there are still threats the of flooding. we'll keep a close eye on this and please take precautions for it. to the north of it really scattered thundershowers across the florida peninsula and in towards the ohio/tennessee valley. severe weather across the great lakes region and down

we'll talk about chantal a while. she's way to the east of the winward islands. she's about 360 miles east, southeast of barbados moving west, northwest at 26. now winds are only 45 miles per hour. so it's essentially minimal strength tropical storm. some indications are it could strengthen, might become a category 1 in the next three, four days. there she is and there is barbados. there are tropical storm watches and warnings out for the winward islands. the latest trek from the hurricane center takes it south of martinique early tomorrow morning. winds are still about 50 miles an hour. then it goes south to puerto rico and now the models are taking it further north maybe grazing the southern coast and back through high it i and the eastern side of cuba. after that there's -- haiti and the eastern side of cuba. after that there's a lot of discrepancy where it goes. some models duck it between in between cuba and florida into the gulf of mexico. good time to go to the website, download our weather app and track this right along with us. live shot, our michael and
