At 1100 AM EDT (1500 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Colin was
located near latitude 33.7 North, longitude 79.0 West. Colin is
moving toward the northeast near 7 mph (11 km/h). A slightly faster 
northeast to east-northeast motion is expected during the next day

move northeastward along or just inland of the South Carolina and 
North Carolina coasts through Sunday morning, and then emerge over 
the western Atlantic Ocean late Sunday.

Maximum sustained winds remain near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher 
gusts. Little change in strength is forecast during the next day or 
so, but Colin is expected to dissipate by early Monday. 

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 80 miles (130 
km) mainly southeast of the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1012 mb (29.89 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND:  Tropical storm conditions are expected within the warning
area in North Carolina this afternoon through Sunday.

RAINFALL:  Colin will continue to produce locally heavy rainfall 
across portions of coastal South and North Carolina through Sunday 
morning. An additional 1 to 2 inches of rainfall, with isolated 
amounts up to 4 inches in eastern North Carolina, are possible. 
This rainfall may result in localized areas of flash flooding.

SURF:  Swells generated by Colin are affecting portions of the coast
of the Carolina coast.  These swells could cause life-threatening
surf and rip current conditions.  Please consult products from your
