Good morning
At 5am TS Colin was located at 25.2 N and 87.4 W with 50 mph winds and was moving NNE at 14 mph. The upper level wind pattern has not changed and Colin should proceed as previously forecast. The NWS/NHC has been right on with this one and I anticipate landfall in the Big Bend area of North Florida early tomorrow morning. Significant shear should hamper significant intensification and the NHC is currently forecasting it to make landfall as a 60 mph Tropical Storm.
It is pretty much due west of Miami now and SE Florida should see minimal weather from this system. Probably some rain later today and tonight. Not much wind.
Until next time,
Matt.
