(May 10, 2007)—The first named storm of the year was downgraded to tropical depression Thursday and poses little threat—and that’s both good news and bad news.
Forecasters expect Andrea to show little movement over the next day and dissipate near the coast in about four days.
That’s good news for coastal residents, but bad news for the crews battling dozens of wildfires in Florida and Georgia who are hoping for some help from Mother Nature.
Andrea has top sustained winds of about 45 miles-per-hour, blowing the smoke from the wildfires across Georgia and Florida.
The storm has also been sending five-foot waves crashing down on Georgia beaches.
High waves have been luring surfers to the beach.
Authorities say one Florida man may have drowned as a result, when he wiped out after being hit by a "gigantic wave."
The hurricane center has issued a tropical storm watch for parts of Georgia and Florida, meaning tropical storm conditions are possible within 36 hours.
