Colin will almost certainly not become a strong hurricane or reach landfall as a hurricane, so we should be looking out for Danielle the next name in the sequence.
According to NOAA, Colin will continue to strength and follow a WNW path until curving north. It will maintain tropical storm status or possibly (ca 25% chance) reach low level hurricane strength at most between 1.4 and 4 days from now and stay that way for a few more days without strengthening. After that, the models diverge so a lot of different things could happen, but most likely dissipation.
(Keep in mind, of course, that a tropical feature can under certain conditions reorganize and become a factor again, though that is not likely here.)

Not-so-patiently waiting to see if the surf is going to be right Sunday or if I have to take Monday off...
That's me up there. I'm just incapable of typing my own name.
According to the 5 pm update, Colin has degenerated into a remnant low, and the Hurricane Center will no longer track it.
Indeed, Colin seems to have died an untimely death.
On the other hand, the Western Sahara looks interesting right now.
