All Tropical Storm Warnings have been discontinued.
The center of Colin will move away from the North Carolina coast this afternoon and pass well east of the mid-Atlantic coast later today. Some slight strengthening is possible today and tonight, but gradual weakening is expected to begin on Wednesday.
Colin is expected to produce additional rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches across far eastern North Carolina and 1 to 3 inches, with isolated maximum amounts of 5 inches, across central Florida through this evening.
