Tropical cyclones typically drop large amounts of rain along and near the storm's path. The slower and more significant the storm’s size, the higher the likelihood of higher rainfall totals. Some storms can drop well over 30 inches of rainfall, like when Hurricane Harvey dropped over 60 inches near Nederland, Texas, in 2017.

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

Impacts of Chantal are being felt across the region, with rain falling across eastern Florida and up to Delaware.
