The National Hurricane Center says a broad area of low pressure off the Southeastern coast has officially been designated Potential Tropical Cyclone Three, which could produce flooding rains along the Carolinas during the next few days.

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.

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.
