Tropical Storm Chantal began to weaken as it barreled inland across South Carolina early Sunday, July 6, after making landfall, though the storm still brought a threat of flash flooding, possible tornadoes and dangerous rip current conditions.

Although forecasters do not expect Chantal to become a hurricane, the storm is likely to dump several inches of heavy rainfall across the Carolinas.

The heaviest rain from Tropical Storm Chantal is expected in North Carolina on Sunday, then across eastern Virginia, Southern Maryland and Delaware on Monday.
