Tropical Storm Chantal weakened into a depression after sweeping inland across South Carolina into eastern North Carolina on Sunday, July 6, though the system still brought a threat of flash flooding and dangerous rip currents.

Tropical Storm Chantal has been downgraded to a tropical depression but is raising concerns of flash flooding in central North Carolina and south-central Virginia.

Tropical storm warnings were extended up to Surf City, North Carolina, ahead of Tropical Storm Chantal's landfall in South Carolina early Sunday.
