In the tropics, the disturbance in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico quickly developed into Tropical Storm Mindy Wednesday afternoon.  Mindy came ashore near St. Vincent Island in the Florida panhandle Wednesday evening and has since weakened to a tropical depression.  At 5 am Thursday, Tropical Depression Mindy was located near 30.8 North, 83.0 West, about 150 miles southwest of Savannah, Georgia.  Maximum sustained winds were 35 miles per hour, and Minday was moving northeast at 20 miles per hour.  Mindy will bring 2 to 4 inches of rain across portions of Georgia and South Carolina on Thursday before emerging into the Atlantic, where conditions are not favorable for redevelopment.
