DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK
------------------------------
At 500 AM AST (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Nicole was
located near latitude 38.1 North, longitude 51.6 West. Nicole is
moving toward the east-northeast near 17 mph (28 km/h), but a turn
to the east with a decrease in forward speed is forecast later
today.

Maximum sustained winds are near 70 mph (110 km/h) with higher
gusts.  Some restrengthening is possible, and Nicole is expected to
produce hurricane-force winds again later today. The cyclone is
forecast to maintain tropical characteristics for the next several
days, but there is still a possibility that Nicole could become
post-tropical over the weekend.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 310 miles (500 km)
from the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 978 mb (28.88 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF:  Swells associated with Nicole will continue to affect Bermuda
and the United States east coast from the Carolinas northward for
the next couple of days.  Swells from Nicole are beginning to affect
the coastline of Atlantic Canada and will continue into the weekend.
These swells will create dangerous surf conditions and rip currents.
Please refer to products being issued by your local weather office
for more information.
