DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 1000 AM EST (1500 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Nicole was located near latitude 28.2 North, longitude 82.2 West. Nicole is moving toward the west-northwest near 16 mph (26 km/h). A turn toward the northwest and north-northwest is expected later today, followed by a turn toward the north tonight. Nicole is expected to accelerate north-northeastward on Friday. On the forecast track, the center of Nicole will continue to move across the west central Florida peninsula this morning and emerge over the far northeastern Gulf of Mexico this afternoon. The center should then move across the Florida Panhandle and Georgia tonight, and then move through the southeastern United States on Friday. Maximum sustained winds are have decreased to near 50 mph (85 km/h) with higher gusts. Additional weakening is expected this morning while the center is over land. Little change in strength is expected while Nicole is over the Gulf of Mexico this afternoon and evening. Nicole is expected to weaken to a depression over Georgia tonight, and then it is expected to merge with a frontal boundary over the Mid-Atlantic United States by Friday night. Nicole remains a large tropical storm. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 345 miles (555 km) from the center, especially to the northeast. A short time ago, the NOAA Coastal Marine Automated Station at Saint Augustine, Florida, reported 10-minute average winds of 52 mph (83 km/h) and a wind gust of 70 mph (113 km/h). The NOAA National Ocean Service station at Clearwater Beach, Florida, recently reported sustained winds of 51 mph (82 km/h) and a wind gust of 59 mph (95 km/h). The estimated minimum central pressure from surface observation is 985 mb (29.09 inches). Winter Haven, Florida, recently reported a pressure of 985.4 mb (29.10 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- Key messages for Nicole can be found in the Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT2, WMO header WTNT42 KNHC, and on the web at www.hurricanes.gov/text/MIATCDAT2.shtml. WIND: Tropical storm conditions will continue along portions of the east coast of Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina in the warning areas today and tonight. Tropical storm conditions are expected to occur within the warning area along the west coast of Florida through tonight. STORM SURGE: The combination of a dangerous storm surge and the tide will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by rising waters moving inland from the shoreline. The water could reach the following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated areas if the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide... * Sebastian Inlet Florida to Altamaha Sound Georgia including the St. Johns River to the Fuller Warren Bridge...3 to 5 ft * Anclote River to Ochlockonee River...3 to 5 ft * Altamaha Sound Georgia to the South Santee River South Carolina...2 to 4 ft * St. Johns River south of the Fuller Warren Bridge to Georgetown Florida...2 to 4 ft * Ochlockonee River to Indian Pass...2 to 4 ft * Englewood to Anclote River including Tampa Bay...1 to 3 ft * Sebastian Inlet to Hallandale Beach Florida...1 to 3 ft * South Santee River to Surf City North Carolina...1 to 2 ft * North of Ocean Reef to Hallandale Beach Florida including Biscayne Bay...1 to 2 ft The deepest water will occur along the immediate coast near and to the north of the landfall location, where the surge will be accompanied by large and destructive waves. Surge-related flooding depends on the relative timing of the surge and the tidal cycle, and can vary greatly over short distances. For information specific to your area, please see products issued by your local National Weather Service forecast office. RAINFALL: Nicole is expected to produce the following rainfall amounts through Saturday: * Northwest Bahamas into portions of the Florida Peninsula: 3 to 5 inches with local maxima of 8 inches. * Southeast into the central Appalachians and eastern portions of Tennessee, Kentucky, and Ohio: 2 to 4 inches with local maxima of 6 inches along the Blue Ridge. * Northern Mid-Atlantic into New England: 1 to 4 inches. Flash and urban flooding will be possible, along with renewed river rises on the St. Johns River, across the Florida Peninsula today. Heavy rainfall from this system will spread northward across portions of the Southeast, upper Ohio Valley, Mid-Atlantic, and New England Thursday through Saturday, where limited flooding impacts will be possible. For the latest rainfall reports and wind gusts associated with Hurricane Nicole, see the companion storm summary at WBCSCCNS2 with the WMO header ACUS42 KWBC or at the following link: https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/discussions/nfdscc2.html TORNADOES: A few tornadoes are possible this morning over parts of coastal east-central and northeastern Florida. The tornado threat will spread northward across parts of southeastern Georgia and the Carolinas later today through Friday morning. SURF: Large swells generated by Nicole will affect the northwestern Bahamas, the east coast of Florida, and much of the southeastern United States coast during the next few days. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.
