Tropical Storm Colin
Tropical Storm Colin formed out over the Atlantic this morning, but is not expected to become a hurricane and is unlikely to pose any threat to land, aside from possibly a few of the Leeward Islands.
Colin is a new addition to the Atlantic storms name list, as Charley was retired following the 2004 hurricane season.
