Colin Is Hard To Find, May Already be Gone?

NHC named our 3rd storm of the season early this morning and it may already be gone.  Satellite and radar presentations are pitiful with the center well inland over North Carolina.  I'm no longer in the loop with the forecasters at NHC as several have retired along with me.  All I can say is the data doesn't lie.  Where's Colin?

I loved reading all your comments.  What I said was just an opinion based on over 50 years tracking hurricanes.  I am a believer in climate change, always have been.   What i don't buy into is 1) man is the major driver and 2) somehow man can stop the climate from changing.  We can slow down or speed up the process, but climate will always be changing.

We are following several systems in the Tropics besides Colin.  The system in the Caribbean remains disorganized with the clusters of storms far from the low level rotation.   The bottom picture is Bonnie that clearly shows how a developing storm looks like.   Note the bright cluster of dark reds around the center (arrow).

As one would expect, all of the SE remains in a soupy airmass.  Dew points in the mid 70s makes it feel very uncomfortable.  

Today's storms arrived late and we did reach 90. but that is the second day this month below normal/average.  The whole month of June had only 2 days below normal.

We're in basic summertime Gang.  Daily spotty storms.  Highs 90+,  High humidity.  No complaints as long as there are no tropical threats!  Stay tuned!
