Tropical Storm Chantal rolled ashore early Sunday, July 6, along the eastern South Carolina coast with pounding rain that could trigger flash flooding.

Heavy rain is predicted across portions of the coastal plain of the Carolinas through Monday. Two to 4 inches, with local amounts up to 6 inches, is expected.

After Tropical Storm Chantal made landfall, the deepest moisture and heaviest rain is forecast to track across eastern Virginia, southern Maryland and Delaware. This is a zone to watch for potential flooding on Monday.
