Tropical Depression Three

Sunday, June 5th, 2016

As of 11 AM, the National Hurricane Center has upgraded Invest 93L to Tropical Depression Three. It won’t be too long before TD3 is upgraded to Tropical Storm Colin.

As of the 11 AM advisory, TD3 had winds of 35 MPH and a central pressure of 1005 MB. According to the current forecast track, the storm will achieve landfall at 7 PM at Perry, Florida. From there the storm is predicted to continue northeast over land until 3 AM Tuesday morning. TD3 will then re-enter the ocean at Glynn County.

Our weather forecast reflects this. We are forecast to get more than two inches of rain from 11 AM Monday to 8 PM Tuesday. From 8 PM Monday to 2 AM Tuesday, we are forecast to get more then eight tenths of an inch.

This is not connected to the storm we’re getting today. That storm started off in Texas a few days ago and has been slowly moving towards the east.
