The disturbance we’ve been watching is Tropical Storm Colin as of late Sunday afternoon, just hours after being dubbed Tropical Depression # 3. At 5 pm, Colin was located near 23.3 North, 87.9 West, or about 465 miles southwest of Tampa Bay. Colin was moving north at 12 miles per hour and had maximum sustained winds of 40 miles per hour. A tropical storm warning is up for the Florida Gulf coast from Indian Pass to Englewood, and a tropical storm watch is in effect from Altamaha Sound, Georgia to the Flagler/Volusia county line along the east coast.
Colin is expected to make landfall on the Gulf coast on Monday and cross the peninsula early Tuesday. This is a poorly organized system with most of the thunderstorm activity on the right (“dirty”) side, which means all of the Florida peninsula, including all of South Florida, will see heavy rains, gusty winds, and the threat of hail and isolated tornadoes on Monday and Tuesday.
