DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 100 AM EST (0600 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Nicole was
located near latitude 26.9 North, longitude 75.4 West.  Nicole is
moving toward the west-southwest near 11 mph (18 km/h).  A
west-southwestward to westward motion is expected through today.  A 
west-northwestward motion is forecast to begin tonight, followed by 
a turn toward the northwest and north on Thursday and Thursday 
night.  On the forecast track, the center of Nicole will approach 
the northwestern Bahamas this morning, move near or over those 
islands by this afternoon, and approach the east coast of Florida 
within the hurricane warning area tonight or early Thursday.  
Nicole's center is then expected to move across central and northern 
Florida into southern Georgia Thursday and Thursday night.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 70 mph (110 km/h) with higher 
gusts.  Some strengthening is expected during the next day or so, 
and Nicole is forecast to become a hurricane later today and remain 
a hurricane when it reaches the east coast of Florida.
 
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 380 miles (610 km)
from the center.
 
Data from an Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft indicate 
that the minimum central pressure is 985 mb (29.09 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 are beginning across the 
northwestern Bahamas, and hurricane conditions are expected within 
the hurricane warning area later today.  Tropical storm conditions 
are also beginning along portions of the east coast of Florida, and 
hurricane conditions are expected within the hurricane warning area 
tonight or Thursday morning.  Hurricane conditions are possible 
within the hurricane watch area tonight and Thursday.  Tropical 
storm conditions are possible within the watch area along the west 
coast of Florida by 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...
 
* North Palm Beach Florida to Altamaha Sound Georgia including the
St. Johns River to the Fuller Warren Bridge...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
* Hallandale Beach to North Palm Beach...2 to 4 ft
* Anclote River to Indian Pass...2 to 4 ft
* Englewood to Anclote River including Tampa Bay...1 to 3 ft
* North of Ocean Reef to Hallandale Beach including Biscayne Bay...1
to 2 ft
 
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.  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 Friday:
 
Northwest Bahamas into the eastern, central and northern portions
of the Florida Peninsula: 3 to 5 inches with local maxima of 8
inches.
 
Southeast into the southern and central Appalachians, western
Mid Atlantic, and eastern portions of Tennessee, Kentucky, and Ohio:
2 to 4 inches with local maxima of 6 inches along the Blue Ridge.
 
Flash and urban flooding will be likely, along with possible renewed
river rises on the St. Johns River, across the Florida Peninsula on
Wednesday and Thursday. Heavy rainfall from this system will spread
north farther up the Eastern Seaboard late Thursday into Friday.
 
TORNADOES: Isolated tornadoes will be possible from eastern Florida
into parts of eastern Georgia and eastern South Carolina beginning
late tonight and continuing through Friday.
 
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 several days.  These swells are
likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.
Please consult products from your local weather office.
