A small area of low pressure formed along a surface trough just offshore of Savannah, Georgia, yesterday morning and moved inland across the Lowcountry of South Carolina by the evening. Deep convection formed near the low center as it was moving inland and has persisted and become better organized over the past 6 to 12 hours.

800 AM ET Update
-------------------------------
About 25 MI WSW of Myrtle Beach SC
Max Sustained Winds...40 MPH
Moving...NE at 8 MPH
Minimum Pressure...1012 MB
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 70 miles
mainly to the SE of the center.

a very weak short lived sheared storm. Helps to pad the season name count for those screaming “climate change”
(Bonnie also another one)
Could put a damper on holiday weekend plans for coastal NC/SC.
It’s a mesoscale convective complex that was in the right place at the right time to become a tropical system.
Based on the increased volume of advisories coming from the NHC this season so far I sense that the “Tropical Weather Season” is being padded for political purposes.
The federal government is using its power to hype the notion of “climate change” through the National Weather Service.
Bingo...I can’t find a coastal station or buoy with winds at 40 mph. The closest I got was 33 mph on one buoy. Next closest was 25 mph. We’ll see if this actually develops into a true TS.
I’m in coastal VA. I’m getting a 5th on the 3rd to celebrate the 4th and not going back to work till the 6th!
Just like Ana, Claudette and Danny last year. Max sustained of 45 mph. Couldn’t ever find those numbers in buoys or land stations.
Hubby asked me this morning why it was overcast and rainy this morning. Original forecasts did not predict this type of weather- this explains it :0)
WOW! That’s pretty amazing.
Sounds like a plan!
Not much of a “storm” but the weather channel names every snowflake and calls it climate change. Here is a data page from NOAA for Colin

So weak they should call it Kaepernick

I have seem more robust MCS in years past not been given a name ..the center isn’t even directly over the ocean
I suppose every summer warmed cored Midwestern MCS that develops a surface circulation should be given a name? What about if one moved over lake Michigan? LOL
like many storms in recent years..it would not of been named say 20 years ago
at least it’s affecting people and not in the middle of the Ocean like some of the “storms” the past couple of years
At first, I thought that “X” was the current location and they were talking about the landfall in Colin as their prediction.
If they understood the weather that well, I might start believing some of their Global Warming predictions.

No doubt about it! Funding is dependent upon affirming the global climate change narrative!
The average wind on the average day on the coast of North Carolina anywhere along the OBX is close to a “Tropical Storm”.
We don’t worry until the tops of the taller pine trees touch the ground. ;)
I’m sitting on the porch of my house on the Pamlico sound. The winds have spiked at 35 mph in the last 10 minutes with occasional gusts around 40 mph with a little bit of wind driven rain. Just another typical day on the OBX.
Climate change fear porn is addictive.
Three local favorite sayings
“We live on a sandbar. What could possibly go wrong”!
“Everything in the OBX rusts! Including plastic”!
“The Wright Brothers researched this place real well”!
>Funding is dependent upon affirming the global climate change narrative!
Just like many ‘science’ grants for the last 25+ years.
See NIH and Anthony Fauci!
They were hoping that the swirl of clouds of Texas would as well but it went inland.
