Nicole strengthens to Category 1 hurricane as it approaches Florida, still recovering from Ian, with landfall expected overnight.
that it would cease commercial operations at 4 p.m. Wednesday, and some of Florida’s biggest school systems — including in Miami-Dade County and Orlando — announced that they were canceling classes Wednesday.The entire Atlantic coast of Florida north of the storm’s center can expect gusts of 35 to 50 mph, except Miami-Dade southward, where winds probably will be 25 to 40 mph at most. Near where the core of Nicole’s circulation moves ashore, a few gusts flirting with 75 mph are possible.
A widespread 2 to 5 inches of rain with localized 6-inch totals will affect much of the Florida Peninsula and the Big Bend. Ordinarily this would be unremarkable for Florida, but many locations are still reeling from flooding left over from Hurricane Ian’s assault on the state in late September. The St. Johns River, already at flood stage, is expected to rise further.
Nicole is heading west because of a blocking dome of high pressure at the mid-latitudes that has been exerting a southward push on it. By Thursday morning, that high will shift offshore, allowing Nicole to turn northward ahead of an approaching low-pressure system over the Midwest.
