After looking dishevelled for much of the day yesterday due to shear, Colin has become much better organised as shear has dropped off overnight, and outflow has become near radial. Colin is clearly undergoing rapid intensification, as it has developed a solid central dense overcast is already sporting a pinhole eye. JTWC estimate winds of 65kts, but I'd say Colin is already stronger than this, and getting stronger by the hour. When I show you the latest satellite image, you can see why I think this, what a beauty!




Colin should intensify further over the next 36hrs, and it seems we are going to get some pretty high wind speeds out of this system. Just as well it is not on course to impact land!
