What was Potential Tropical Cyclone # 2 became Tropical Storm Bonnie on Friday morning.  At 5 am EDT on Saturday, Bonnie was located inland, about 90 miles southeast of Managua, Nicaragua.  Maximum sustained winds were 40 miles per hour, and Bonnie was moving west at 14 miles per hour.  Bonnie will continue to drop flooding rains over portions of Nicaragua and Costa Rica, and mudslides are a potential hazard.  Bonnie will emerge into the eastern Pacific later on Saturday.

We now have Tropical Storm Colin, which formed quickly off the South Carolina coast.  At 5 am, Colin was located near 33.2 North, 79.5 West, about 50 miles southwest of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.  Maximum sustained winds were 40 miles per hour, and Colin was moving northeast at 8 miles per hour.  Tropical storm warnings are up for portions of coastal North and South Carolina.  Colin is expected to hug the coast and drop flooding rains on the region through Sunday before moving out to sea.

Elsewhere, the wave now in the eastern Caribbean has a very low chance of becoming a depression.
