Milton has weakened to a post-tropical cyclone, and Coastal Georgia is no longer under a tropical storm warning and a storm surge warning as of Thursday afternoon.
The storm continued moving away from the east coast as of 5 p.m. Thursday and will pass to the south of Bermuda late Friday, according to the National Hurricane Center.
The NHC has lifted all storm surge warnings, tropical storm warnings and coastal watches and warnings.
Coastal areas could still see continued flooding through Thursday night, according to the 5 p.m. advisory, and southern coastal Georgia up to Altamaha Sound, Georgia, could see flooding of 1 to 3 feet above ground level.
Over 35,000 people were without power in Georgia as of 4:58 p.m. Thursday, according to PowerOutage.us. The bulk of the outages are centered in the areas that Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp put under a state of emergency due to Milton.
That state of emergency remains in effect through Oct. 16 and includes the following counties: Appling, Atkinson, Bacon, Berrien, Bibb, Brantley, Brooks, Bryan, Bulloch, Butts, Camden, Candler, Charlton, Chatham, Clinch, Coffee, Cook, Crisp, Dougherty, Echols, Effingham, Evans, Glynn, Houston, Jeff Davis, Lanier, Liberty, Long, Lowndes, McIntosh, Monroe, Muscogee, Pierce, Screven, Tattnall, Toombs, Ware and Wayne.
Kemp on Tuesday also extended the executive order for Hurricane Helene in dozens of counties in South Georgia through Oct. 16.
