Tropical Storm Colin

What was once a tropical cyclone yesterday has gained a little more strength over the past several hours and has now been named Tropical Storm Colin.  TS Colin continues to move to the west/northwest around 35kts and is forecast to move into a little more of a favorable environment for at least some strengthening within the next few days.  After that wind shear from an upper level low over the Atlantic should begin to have an impact on the storm.  The official forecast from the National Hurricane Center is for Colin to strengthen some over the next 36 hours followed by a leveling off of intensity.  Currently, none of the forecast models bring Colin up to hurricane strength over the next week.  For the current path of Tropical Storm Colin click here.
