Tropical Storm Chantal Hits South Carolina Amid Flooding Threats

News summary

Tropical Storm Chantal made landfall near Litchfield Beach, South Carolina, early on July 6, 2025, and is moving north-northwest with maximum sustained winds of about 50 mph as it weakens. The storm is expected to rapidly diminish to a tropical depression later in the day while bringing heavy rainfall, with totals of 2 to 4 inches and localized amounts up to 6 inches, raising concerns for flash flooding across parts of South and North Carolina. Tropical storm warnings remain in effect from South Santee River, South Carolina, to Surf City, North Carolina, with isolated tornadoes possible in eastern North Carolina and northeastern South Carolina. Life-threatening surf and rip currents are anticipated along the coast from northeast Florida to the Mid-Atlantic states. Authorities have cautioned against driving on flooded roads and warned of minor coastal flooding and isolated tornadoes along the coast. Chantal's rain and wind impacts are expected to be more severe on the storm's right side as it moves inland and dissipates by Monday.
