Upon initiating advisories on the storm at 03:00 UTC on September 14, the NHC issued a tropical storm warning from Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, to Altamaha Sound in Georgia.
Nine hours later, the tropical storm warning was discontinued as the cyclone began moving offshore Georgia.
Additionally, flash flood watches were issued between Florida and North Carolina, as up to 10 in (250 mm) of rainfall was possible in some areas.
Florida governor Rick Scott urged residents to prepare in case an evacuation became necessary and to dump standing water to control mosquitoes that could be carrying the Zika virus.
Jacksonville mayor Lenny Curry released a statement telling those in the path of the storm to stay off the roadways due to the rain and wind and potential flash flooding.

In Florida, the storm produced wind gusts of 30 to 48 mph (48 to 77 km/h) along the First Coast, causing some structural damage, including ripping apart the roof of a Chevron gas station in Neptune Beach and carrying it over two blocks before dropping it.
While Julia was still in its precursor stages as it paralleled the coast of Florida, an EF0 tornado was reported and later confirmed in the areas of Barefoot Bay, with sustained winds as high as 85 mph (137 km/h).
One home had its roof partially ripped off by the tornado as it tracked through the area.
Flooding rain impacted the Space Coast and the First Coast, with 3.3 in (84 mm) of precipitation reported in Melbourne.

The storm knocked out power to over 1,300 people in Georgia, especially in and near the Sea Islands and St. Simons.
In South Carolina, rainfall from Julia caused flash flooding in a number of locations, such as the Charleston metropolitan area, where flooding resulted in the closure of several roads.
Accumulations peaked at 3.67 in (93 mm) on September 14.
Sporadic power outages were also reported.

As the remnants of Julia interacted with a cold front near the coastline, parts of North Carolina received as much as 12 in (300 mm) of rain.
One million gallons of sewage from Elizabeth City flowed into the Pasquotank River and Charles Creek.
The Cashie River in Windsor, crested at 15 ft (4.6 m) on September 22, about 2 ft (0.61 m) above major flood stage.
In Windsor, several businesses and approximately 60 homes suffered water damage.
In Bertie County alone, 72 people had to be rescued from their homes and vehicles, while 61 others were evacuated from nursing homes.
A shelter was opened for displaced residents.
Damage in the county reached about $5 million in damage, including $4 million to property and $1 million to agriculture.
Flooding in Bertie, Currituck, and Hertford counties resulted in school closures for at least two days.
On September 22, then-Governor Pat McCrory declared a state of emergency for Bertie, Camden, Chowan, Currituck, Dare, Gates, Halifax, Hertford, Northampton, Pasquotank, and Perquimans.
A disaster declaration was approved following Hurricane Matthew in October, which also included aid for victims of flooding during Julia.
The declaration allowed businesses and non-profit organizations in  Bertie, Chowan, Halifax, Hertford, Martin, Northampton, and Washington counties to apply for low-interest loans via the Small Business Administration, while loans up to $200,000 became available for needy homeowners.

Heavy rainfall was reported in southeastern Virginia, with 17.85 in (453 mm) of precipitation observed near Great Bridge.
Numerous roads were washed out in several counties and independent cities, including Chesapeake, Franklin, Isle of Wight, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Southampton, Suffolk, and Virginia Beach.
In Chesapeake, flood waters overwhelmed the sewer system, causing sewage to enter the city's water system and local waterways.
Farther north, the remnants of the storm interacted with a frontal boundary, resulting in heavy rainfall in some portions of Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.
Throughout its path, damage from the storm amounted to about $6.13 million.
