DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK
------------------------------
At 1100 PM EDT (0300 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Colin was
located near latitude 29.8 North, longitude 83.8 West.  Colin is
moving toward the northeast near 23 mph (37 km/h).  A continued
northeastward motion at a faster forward speed is expected over the
next 48 hours.  On the forecast track, the center of Colin will
move onshore in the Florida Big Bend area shortly, then move across
northern Florida and southeastern Georgia through early Tuesday
morning, and move near or over the southeastern coast of the United
States Tuesday.  However, it's important to note that the strongest
winds and heaviest rains are well removed from the center.

Maximum sustained winds are near 50 mph (85 km/h) with higher gusts.
Some strengthening is forecast after Colin moves into the Atlantic
on Tuesday.

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

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1002 mb (29.59 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
RAINFALL: Colin is expected to produce rainfall amounts of 3 to 6
inches with isolated maximum totals of 10 inches across western to
northern Florida, southeast Georgia, and coastal areas of the
Carolinas through Tuesday.

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 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 will continue across portions of the
warning area along the west coast of the Florida peninsula for the
next several hours.  Tropical storm conditions have likely begun
over portions of the warning area along the Atlantic coast of
Florida, and these conditions will spread northward and
northeastward over the remainder of the warning area overnight and
on Tuesday.

TORNADOES: A tornado or two will remain possible across parts of
central and northeast Florida early tonight, and perhaps near
coastal areas of Georgia and the Carolinas overnight.
