MIAMI, Sept. 19 (UPI) -- Tropical Storm Julia was losing strength Sunday evening as it headed toward the north Atlantic, U.S. forecasters said.
Julia, once a Category 4 hurricane, was 1,280 miles west of the Azores and heading northeastward at about 14 mph, with sustained winds of about 45 mph extending up to 140 miles from its center, the National Hurricane Center in Miami said in its 5 p.m. EDT advisory.
The storm is expected to keep weakening and become a remnant low by Monday night and dissipate Tuesday.
Julia started as a tropical depression near the African coast on Sept. 12, but quickly turned into a hurricane before weakening back into a tropical storm.
