Tropics Update: August 3, 2010---Page 1
In this update: Tropical Depression #4 upgraded to Tropical Storm Colin in the Atlantic Ocean Forecast tracks and intensity
Latest Information: At 5am EDT Tuesday, Tropical Depression Four in the central Atlantic was designated as Tropical Storm Colin with maximum winds near 40mph.
As of 11am EDT Tuesday, Tropical Storm Colin was located about 840 miles east of the Leeward Islands, which is also more than 2,140 miles southeast of Miami, Florida.
Track Forecast: T.S. Colin has increased again in forward speed, now moving rapidly west around 24mph. A turn back to the west-northwest is expected over the next day or so, but this “wobble” to the west has resulted in a westward shift of the forecast track. Colin is expected to continue moving briskly between 20 and 25mph west-northwest and then more northwest later this week as it is steered on the southwestern side of high pressure in the northeastern Atlantic.
