Tropical storm warnings are already in effect for parts of Florida. Here's the latest on Nicole's path and more.
The hurricane center predicted a particularly wobbly forward movement for Nicole as it approaches Florida before crossing into the northwest Gulf of Mexico. As of 7 a.m. Tuesday, the storm was about 385 miles east-northeast of the northwestern Bahamas with maximum sustained winds of 50 mph. The system is expected to intensify to a tropical storm Tuesday before likely becoming a Category 1 hurricane or near that strength on Wednesday, officials say.
Storm surge could raise water levels by as much as 4 to 6 feet above normal tide levels along the immediate coast of the northwestern Bahamas in areas of onshore winds. 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.
“While this storm does not, at this time, appear that it will become much stronger, I urge all Floridians to be prepared and to listen to announcements from local emergency management officials,” DeSantis said in a statement.
