Julia to Enhance Rainfall in North Carolina; No Longer a Tropical Depression

September 18,2016
Julia will slowly crawl toward the Carolina coastline the next couple of days, but is no longer a tropical system.
The center of Julia was located about 110 miles south-southeast of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, as of Sunday evening.

Current Storm Status

A combination of moisture from Julia, the tail end of a stalling cold front, and a developing upper low will lead to enhanced chances of showers and thunderstorms in eastern North Carolina and southeast Virginia to start this week.
Some localized flooding cannot be ruled out in the heaviest downpours through Tuesday.
A plume of moisture partially associated with Julia may also enhance rainfall in the Northeast into Monday.

Rainfall Forecast

The potential for dangerous rip currents will remain along parts of the Southeast coast due to the swells created by Julia.

Julia Storm History

Julia formed on the evening of Sept. 13 while over northeast Florida.
It's the first tropical cyclone on record to be named while over land in Florida, according to Dr. Phil Klotzbach.
Charleston, South Carolina, saw 3.67 inches of rain from Julia on Sept. 14, but most of its rain moved offshore by the next day.
Julia finally became a post-tropical cyclone on September 18.
