A flood watch was in effect July 7 for several states, including Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

"An elevated risk for flash flooding will continue."

Tropical depression Chantal brought flooding to North Carolina and spurred water rescues before moving over Virginia overnight Monday.

Tropical storm warnings were extended up to Surf City, North Carolina, ahead of Tropical Storm Chantal's landfall in South Carolina early Sunday.
