According to the NHC Nicole is expected to “merge with a cold front by the middle part of this week.†IMO, not soon enough. Read above what I wrote about Zeta which hit LA & MS on Oct. 28-29, 2020. Never depend on weather forecasters’s reports as being gospel. Zeta became a Cat 1 and was not expected to intensify. Not much to be concerned about as we are Floridians and at the time living in Long Beach, MS across the street from the Gulf. Zeta proved to us hurricanes can be sneaky and she belied the “confirmed†NHC reports by becoming a low Cat 3 at landfall!
Nicole is expected to become a hurricane. How strong at landfall? Cat 1? Cat 2? or maybe another Zeta? Who knows for certain? You are more knowledgeable about the weather than I am so your statement about “late season storms always come from the SW not the E†could turn out to be a blessing with Nicole. At this time of year the Atlantic waters are cooler than the Gulf waters.
