Tropical Storm Colin

Graphic courtesy WTSP 10News St. Petersburg, Florida.

In early June, a low pressure system entered the Caribbean Sea. The low remained disorganized with only isolated convection, mostly in the eastern quadrant. Convection began to wrap into the center as the storm curved northward into the Gulf of Mexico on June 3. After the low passed over the Yucatán Peninsula on June 5, the National Hurricane Center upgraded it to Tropical Depression Three and tropical storm warnings were issued for the Big Bend of Florida. Later that day, the depression intensified into Tropical Storm Colin, just after tropical storm watches were put in place for eastern Florida and Georgia. The formation into a tropical storm marked the earliest formation on record of the third named storm within the Atlantic basin, exceeding the previous record set in 1887 by seven days.

Upgrade to Windows 10

Thursday June 2, 2016 I upgraded to Windows 10.
The only problems I encountered were photo viewer and Firefox freezing while running flash videos. These were simple to fix. By default the photo viewer is configured for Microsoft account photo viewer. Under settings, system, Default apps I simply changed the Photo viewer to Windows Photo Viewer. Firefox required disabling hardware acceleration in flash. Right click on any video display and choose Settings to uncheck Enable hardware acceleration.

Since I was using 32 bit Windows 7 Professional Microsoft installed Windows 10 Pro Version 1511 build 10586.318 32 bit.
