The National Hurricane Center is tracking an area of low pressure in the Atlantic, located off the coast of North Florida, in the wake of floods that hit North Carolina last week.

Firefighters were seen performing water rescues in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, on Sunday evening. No injuries or deaths have been reported.

Officials in North Carolina say there were three potential storm-related deaths amid flooding from the remnants of Tropical Storm Chantal.

North Carolina Gov. Josh Stein said July 8 that state officials were working to confirm the total number of fatalities.

Tropical Storm Chantal made landfall in South Carolina and triggered serious flooding in central North Carolina where it also generated a few tornadoes in early July 2025. Tropical Depression Three formed off the Southeast coast late in the afternoon on July 4. It then strengthened into Tropical Storm Chantal the next morning.

Tropical Storm Chantal caused severe flooding and rainfall in North and South Carolina, leading to preliminary damage estimates of $4-$6 billion.

Two tropical storms have led to deadly inland flooding in the United States already this season, underscoring how dangerous water can be.

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

Tropical Depression Three may become Tropical Storm Chantal on Saturday with heavy rain possible at the North Carolina coast.
