Tropical Storm Colin is staying mostly offshore, but NC severe weather threat lingers

RALEIGH, N.C. — Tropical Storm Colin kept most of its winds and rains offshore as it worked its way up the North Carolina coast on Saturday, but weather authorities warned residents and visitors to be on the lookout for severe weather again Sunday.

The tropical storm, which spun up overnight in the Atlantic Ocean near South Carolina, left behind rough surf and life-threatening riptides, an unwelcome surprise for beachgoers amid the July 4 holiday weekend.

The center of the storm was near the border between the Carolinas at 5 p.m. Saturday, according to the National Hurricane Center.
