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.

Tropical Storm Chantal moved onshore in South Carolina early Sunday morning and continued to dump heavy rain on parts of the Southeast while weakening to a depression.

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