Colin remains poorly organized with most of the wind and rain located east of the center and the center location is uncertain.  Colin will make landfall, most likely along the Florida West Coast in the Big Bend area this evening.  The major effect of Colin over Florida will be heavy rainfall and the risk for isolated tornadoes.
