HAVANA TIMES — Although the center of tropical storm Colin with its 50
mph winds is headed to cross the northern part of Florida from west to
east, its heavy cloud cover is bringing some rain to western Cuba.

The Cuban Weather Institute (INSMET) reported this morning that Colin
had brought some rain to the western provinces from Pinar del Rio to
Havana, including the Isle of Youth. The precipitation could be strong
and intense in some areas, noted the weather service.

Sustained winds associated with Colin reached between 15 and 25 mph at
the Casa Blanca weather station in Havana. Some gusts reached 40 mph
early on Monday. Similar winds and rains are expected during the next 12
to 24 hours.

INSMET will present a new report on tropical storm Colin at 6pm ET.
