Tropical Storm Julia, which formed over land near Jacksonville late Tuesday night, is expected to continue meandering along the coast of Georgia and South Carolina into Friday.

  • Tropical Storm Julia formed over northeast Florida late Tuesday
  • Julia remains a tropical storm, has slowed down slightly

Maximum sustained winds are still about 40 mph, according to the National Weather Service's 1 p.m. advisory, and it's moving to the east-northeast at 5 mph, meaning the storm has turned and slowed slightly.

Forecasters said Julia is likely to meander near the northern Georgia or southern South Carolina coastlines into Friday, so flooding is a concern. The storm is expected to produce significant rainfall of up to 6 inches along the coast.

All tropical storm warnings have been discontinued.  

Severe storms along Florida's east coast Tuesday produced a tornado in southern Brevard County.
