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.

More than 5 million people are under flood alerts in North Carolina and Virginia Sunday with nearly 2 million under Flash Flood Warnings as Chantal makes landfall.

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.
