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

Tropical Storm Chantal has gathered a little more strength as it drifts toward the South Carolina coast Saturday, promising a stormy end to the holiday weekend.

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.
