Tropical Depression 3 has formed in the extreme southern Gulf of Mexico. A Tropical Storm Warning has been issued for the Florida Gulf Coast from Indian Pass to Englewood. The primary hazards with this system are expected to be flooding from heavy rains and some coastal flooding from storm surge. This system is expected to develop into Tropical Storm Colin.

Public Advisories

[George from New England]

Three is likely a Carnival cruise ship that is right in the storm as the ship returns to Tampa for 7 a.m. Monday.

Heads up FL Gulf Coasters...

A Hurricane Hunter mission is scheduled to investigate TS Colin again at 0100. There is a lot of Tampa Bay local news discussion that the storm center may actually be 75 miles further east than currently indicated. In other words, the storm effects may pose more impact to the West FL peninsula than originally forecast. The latest model runs appear to be picking up a more eastern location for the storm center. Stay tuned.

11 PM advisory: TS Warning extended south to Sebastian Inlet, which includes Brevard County.

Getting interesting..good nite check back in the morning..2 days off!!! Woo Hoo..

[Guenevere]

Yeah tell me about it....
....I went to bed early and the weather radio woke me about 11pm with updates on the storm....

....it still sounds like a bit of rain to me...
....and it’s way too early in the season, it seems, for all this hype

OF course, our last batch of biggies was a whole 11 years ago!!!
I remember well......our daughter was pregnant and we made sure to evacuate with her, & her husband !,......Twice!
Once to Jacksonville....once only to Orlando, we got a late start.

[Guenevere]

Ha....I was wondering about that....
....didn’t remember any in 2010

....but we had FOUR on 2004

We are not getting much out of this it is big but not bold.I guess a track maybe 100 miles north of Clearwater or even less is what they call now? Barometer just started heading back up at the Dry Tortugas which tells me its passing there. It never got below 28.80 its at 29.84 now,a big nothing as far as storms go.
