"tropical Storm Colin has now intensified. The winds are going 50 mph moving north northeast at 14 mph. We are already getting bands of rain moving into Central Florida this morning.

Anymore strengthening is not expected before Colin makes landfall due to vertical wind shear.

Colin should make landfall in the Big Bend area of Florida later tonight around 8 or 9 pm."



Tropical storm conditions are expected within the next 24 hours. We are expected to see 5+ inches of rain by the end of Tuesday." end quote

Just because we aren't in the path doesn't mean that a lot of areas could experience flooding, tornados, and power outages.
