TV Weather Team is highlighting Tuesday as a NEXT Weather Alert day in Massachusetts. This alert is for a combination of heat and humidity as well as a threat for scattered storms fueled by the remnants of Tropical Storm Chantal in the Boston area.

Chantal brought heavy, flooding rain and dangerous beach conditions to the Carolinas over the weekend, setting off life-threatening flash flooding Sunday in central parts of North Carolina that killed at least one person and prompted dozens of rescues.

The alert went out shortly after 10 a.m. as the city declared a CodeRED emergency, according to a news release. The city, which lies in Alamance and Orange counties, gets its water from the Graham-Mebane Water Treatment Plant. The plant was damaged during the flooding from remnants of Tropical Depression Chantal on Sunday.

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

Complete strangers have taken it upon themselves to help, gathering water, supplies, and volunteering to pitch in.
