Chantal has weakened back into a tropical depression, but continues to bring heavy rainfall with flash flooding concerns across central and northeastern North Carolina.

The low pressure system will sweep through the Mid-Atlantic bringing heavy rainfall. Parts of Virginia should anticipate 1-3 inches of rainfall.

Life threatening surf and rip currents will continue through at least Monday for east coast beaches from Virginia through South Carolina.
