Passage Of TS Julia at 5 AM

The last thing I ever expected is that Invest 93L would organize over land into a tropical storm. But, that’s what happened last night. Starting at 11 PM last night, the NHC began issuing advisories to TS Julia, just as the storm was passing Saint Mary’s, Georgia. The storm was and still is, moving very slowly to the north.

The center of TS Julia passed Saint Simons at around 5 AM this morning, as signified by the low pressure of 1011 MB. All of Julia’s rain activity seems to be in the northeast quadrant of Julia, and radar shows that has passed north of us. The clouds in general are in the eastern half of the storm, so those will be with us for a while.

As far as total rainfall, the weather station at McKinnon Airport (KSSI) is reporting a total of 6.47 inches since yesterday morning at 9 AM. Top winds were recorded at around 2 AM, with a speed of 28 MPH and gusts of 38 MPH. More often than not, after 2 AM winds have been measured above 20 MPH.
