Tropical Depression Mindy is dropping heavy rain on southern Georgia and parts of South Carolina and could produce scattered flash flooding and a few tornadoes as it pushes to the coast, forecasters say.
Mindy, which formed in the Gulf of Mexico on Wednesday afternoon and made landfall over the Florida Panhandle's St. Vincent Island that night, had weakened to a tropical depression by the time it reached southern Georgia on Thursday morning.Centered dozens of miles east of Valdosta, Georgia, just across the Florida state line, Mindy had sustained winds of 35 mph as of 5 a.m. ET, the National Hurricane Center said.
