Tropical Storm Chantal is expected to produce heavy rainfall across portions of the coastal plain of the Carolinas through Monday. Storm total rainfall of 2 to 4 inches, with local amounts up to 6 inches, is expected. This rainfall will result in an elevated risk for flash flooding.

Chantal weakened into a post-tropical cyclone after forming off the coast of Florida, bringing significant flooding to several Eastern U.S. states, according to the National Hurricane Center. Chantal became a tropical depression on Friday, bringing heavy rain to Central Florida.

Tropical Storm Chantal formed on Saturday as it slowly moved in the Atlantic toward the Carolinas, according to the National Weather Service.

"Should development take place on the Atlantic side of Florida, it may once again drift northward toward the U.S. coast," Accuweather said on July 11. The more plausible option is development on the Gulf side, which could be steered westward along the northern Gulf Coast, the weather forecast company stated.

Tropical Depression 3 strengthened into Tropical Storm Chantal on Saturday, July 5, according to the latest update from the National Hurricane Center.
