DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 500 AM EDT (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Colin was 
located just inland over South Carolina near latitude 33.2 North, 
longitude 79.5 West.  Colin is moving toward the northeast near 8 
mph (13 km/h), and this general motion is expected to continue 
through Sunday.  A turn toward the east-northeast with an increase 
in forward speed is expected late Sunday and Sunday night.  On the 
forecast track, the center of Colin is expected to move 
northeastward along or just inland of the South Carolina and North 
Carolina coasts through Sunday, and then emerge over the western 
Atlantic Ocean late Sunday.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher gusts.
Little change in strength is forecast during the next couple of
days.  Colin is expected to dissipate over the western Atlantic on
Monday.
 
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 70 miles (110 km)
mainly to the southeast of the center.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1011 mb (29.86 inches).
