Hurricane Nicole makes landfall in Florida with 75 mph winds. It comes just weeks after Ian brought devastation to parts of the state.
The storm is about 30 miles east-southeast of Fort Pierce Beach, Florida, moving west-northwest at 14 mph, the center said early Thursday. Nicole has maximum sustained winds of 75 mph.
Little change in strength is expected until Nicole makes landfall, according to the Hurricane Center. "Nicole's center is then expected to move across central and northern Florida into southern Georgia Thursday and Thursday night, and into the Carolinas Friday," the hurricane center said. The storm is expected to weaken as it moves across Florida into the southeastern US, and is"likely to become a post-tropical cyclone by Friday afternoon," the center said.
NHC notes that Nicole will bring “strong winds, dangerous storm surge and heavy rains and that large intense bands extend quite far from the center."“Do not focus on the exact track of Nicole since it is a large storm with hazards extending well to the north of the center, outside the forecast cone,” the Hurricane Center warned.
