Chantal has weakened into a post-tropical cyclone and the flash flood threat from the storm has wanted, according to the National Hurricane Center.

As the remnants of Tropical Storm Chantal stream northward into the Tri-State Area, major weather changes are in store after a near-perfect Fourth of July weekend in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.

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.
