Tropical Storm Julia pulled together late last night over land on the northeast coast of Florida and has been tracking along the coast to the north today. Heavy rain has been observed to the north of the storm and mostly to the east of the circulation, although there has been a lot right along the coastline. What made it amazing to meteorologists was the fact that it formed over land instead of over the ocean, where tropical systems almost always form.
