MIAMI, Oct. 10 (UPI) -- Tropical depression Kyle is expected to approach the coast near the Florida-Georgia state line Friday morning with 35 mph winds, the National Hurricane Center said.
A tropical storm watch is in effect from Flagler Beach, Fla., north to Edisto Beach, S.C.
At 5 p.m. EDT, the center of the tropical depression was located at latitude 29.2 north, longitude 80.1 west or about 55 miles east of Daytona Beach, Fla.
It was moving west-northwest at 14 mph and a turn toward the northwest was imminent.
"On this track, the center will move close to the northeast Florida and Georgia coast tonight and Friday," forecaster Richard Pasch said.
Eventually, the depression was expected to curve toward the northeast, travel inland up the U.S. coast and out to sea again, probably by Sunday night.
Some slight strengthening of winds was possible, which could bring the relatively harmless depression up to a more threatening tropical storm status, Pasch said. It still was not considered dangerous.
Since Kyle developed Sept. 20, it has gone from sub-tropical depression to tropical storm to hurricane and back down again. After 19 days it has cracked the top 10 list for longest-lived tropical systems.
Ginger, a 1971 hurricane, lasted the longest -- 28 days -- and was a hurricane for 20 days, also a record.
