Subtropical Storm Nicole formed Monday, east of the Bahamas. It's expected to move toward Florida's east coast this week with rain and wind increasing in the Bay Area in the middle of the week.
The National Hurricane Center has issued a Hurricane Watch for the east coast of Florida from the Volusia-Brevard county line to Hallandale Beach in Broward County. This includes Lake Okeechobee.
A Storm Surge Watch is in effect from Altamaha Sound in Georgia to Hallandale Beach. A Tropical Storm Watch is in effect for Altamaha Sound southward to the Volusia-Brevard county line as well as Hallandale Beach to the north of Ocean Reef.Like tropical systems, a subtropical storm has a well-defined center and a closed circulation.

Basically, it means state and local governments have more freedom to coordinate emergency agencies and resources to deal with a storm threat, rather than going through normal procedures. "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," according to a written statement from DeSantis . "We will continue to monitor the trajectory and strength of this storm as it moves towards Florida."Then, it's expected to move west or southwest from Tuesday to Thursday.
"Could this storm become a hurricane before coming onshore? It could. However, I still think in the Tampa area, the west coast of Florida, in general, it’s going to be rainy Wednesday night right through Thursday," Osterberg explained. "Maybe we pick up a couple of inches of rain, 40-50 mph winds are not out of the question right now. That’s what it looks like today. Of course, we’ll be tweaking and fine-tuning that.
