Thousands were left without power after storms from Tropical Depression Chantal's outer bands impacted areas across North Carolina. Tropical Storm Chantal weakened to a tropical depression Sunday morning after making landfall.

Tropical Storm Chantal has formed off the southeastern U.S. coast. The National Hurricane Center in Miami says tropical storm warnings have been issued for portions of the Carolinas.

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.
