The storm was about 75 miles east of Charleston, South Carolina, early Sunday, and 85 miles southwest of Wilmington, North Carolina.
Its maximum sustained winds were clocked at 60 mph, and it was moving north at 8 mph.
Rain bands from Chantal were moving onshore, the hurricane center said, with flash floods an increasing concern.
The storm was expected to make landfall in South Carolina in the next few hours and weaken rapidly as it continues over land.
Heavy rain was forecast for parts of North Carolina through Monday, with total rainfall of 2 to 4 inches and local amounts up to 6 inches that could lead to flash flooding.
South Carolina’s Emergency Management division had warned residents earlier of the possibility of isolated tornadoes along the coast and of minor coastal flooding.
It also warned drivers not to venture on water-covered roads or around road-closure signs where flooding occurred.
