| Colin moving into Atlantic east of Georgia coast |
| Tuesday, June 7, 2016, Georgia & Florida, United States |
| The Tropical Storm Warning is discontinued along the Atlantic coast south of Altamaha Sound, Georgia, and along the Gulf coast of Florida. A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for Altamaha Sound Georgia to Oregon Inlet North Carolina……At 500am EDT (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Colin was near latitude 31.6 North, longitude 80.6 West. Colin is moving toward the NE 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 SE United States today. 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 SE of the center… …Colin is expected to produce additional rainfall amounts of 1-3 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. 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: 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… …Tropical storm conditions could occur over portions of the warning area today. A tornado or two will remain possible across parts of the coastal Carolinas today.
