The storm is capable of causing 2 to 6 inches (5-15 cm) of rain in parts of southern Georgia and coastal South Carolina, which can lead to flooding.
Tropical wind gusts of at least 39 miles (62 kilometers) per hour are likely near Mindy in parts of southeast Georgia, the hurricane center said.

“Tornadoes are possible in parts of northern Florida and far south Georgia,” the hurricane center warned.
Since the storm was developing very close to land, Mindy had limited time to gain strength.
