DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK

At 200 PM EDT (1800 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Colin was
located near latitude 33.6 North, longitude 79.0 West. Colin is
moving toward the northeast near 7 mph (11 km/h). A slightly faster

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 1014 mb (29.94 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND:  Tropical storm conditions are expected within the warning
area in North Carolina later this afternoon through early 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 
North Carolina coast. These swells could cause life-threatening

local weather office.
