MIAMI (AP) — Tropical Storm Colin is becoming poorly organized as it heads toward Bermuda, but forecasters say there is still a chance it may slightly strengthen.

Colin’s maximum sustained winds were about 40 mph (65 kph) on Saturday. The storm’s center is expected to pass near or over Bermuda on Sunday.

A tropical storm warning was issued for the British territory, and authorities closed beaches, warning of high winds and dangerous surf.

Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center said the center of the storm is about 200 miles (320 kilometers) south-southwest of Bermuda and is moving north-northeast around 3 mph (5 kph).

In the Pacific, Tropical Storm Estelle intensified as it headed away from Mexico. The storm has top sustained winds of 60 mph (95 kph).
