DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK
------------------------------
At 500 AM EDT (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Colin was
located near latitude 31.6 North, longitude 80.6 West. Colin is
moving toward the northeast near 31 mph (50 km/h) and this motion is
expected to continue with an increase in forward speed today and
tonight.  On the forecast track, the center of Colin should move
near and parallel to the coast of the southeastern United States
today.  However, it's important to note that the strongest winds and
heaviest rains are well removed from the center.

Reports from an Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft and ship
data indicate that maximum sustained winds are near 50 mph (85 km/h)
with higher gusts.  Some increase in strength is expected during the
next 24 hours.  However, Colin is also expected to lose its tropical
cyclone characteristics by tonight.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 230 miles (370 km)
mainly to the southeast of the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1002 mb (29.59 inches).
NOAA buoy 41008 recently reported a pressure of 1002.0 mb (29.59
inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
RAINFALL: Colin is expected to produce additional rainfall amounts
of 1 to 3 inches across eastern North Carolina and central Florida
through today.  Rainfall is expected to diminish across northern
Florida, coastal Georgia, and eastern South Carolina this morning.

STORM SURGE: The combination of a storm surge and the tide will
cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by rising
waters.  The water could reach the following heights above ground if
the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide...

Indian Pass to Tampa Bay...1 to 3 ft with slightly higher amounts
possible in a few locations.
Tampa Bay south to Florida Bay...1 to 2 ft.

Localized coastal flooding and dangerous surf are possible along the
Atlantic coast from Florida to North Carolina within the tropical
storm warning area.  The surge along the Florida Gulf coast should
diminish today.

The deepest water will occur along the immediate coast.
Surge-related flooding depends on the relative timing of the surge
and the tidal cycle, and can vary greatly over short distances.  For
information specific to your area, please see products issued by
your local National Weather Service forecast office.

WIND: Tropical storm conditions could occur over portions of the
warning area today.

TORNADOES: A tornado or two will remain possible across parts of
the coastal Carolinas today.
