At 200 PM EDT (1800 UTC), the center of Post-Tropical Cyclone Colin

post-tropical cyclone is moving toward the northeast near 38 mph
(61 km/h) and this general motion is expected to continue through
Wednesday.  The center of Colin will move away from the North
Carolina coast this afternoon and pass well east of the mid-Atlantic
coast later today.

Maximum sustained winds are near 60 mph (95 km/h) with higher gusts,
although the system's strongest winds and heaviest rains are located
over water well southeast of the center.  Some slight strengthening
is possible today and tonight, but gradual weakening is expected to
begin on Wednesday.

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

The estimated minimum central pressure is 996 mb (29.42 inches).

amounts of 1 to 2 inches across far eastern North Carolina
and 1 to 3 inches, with isolated maximum amounts of 5 inches,
across central Florida through this evening.

STORM SURGE: Water levels remain elevated along the west coast
of the Florida peninsula, but are expected to subside by this
evening.

Localized coastal flooding and dangerous surf are possible along
