Tropics LIVE TRACKER: Subtropical storm Nicole forms in Atlantic, threatens US coast
Forecasters advised those living in the central Bahamas, Florida, and along the southeastern coast of the United States to monitor the storm's progress. Additional watches will likely be required by later Monday, the advisory said.The storm was expected to produce heavy rainfall across the northwestern Bahamas Tuesday through Thursday, impacting portions of Florida and other areas of the U.S. coastline mid-to-late week.
Storm surge levels could be as high as 5 feet above normal tide along the immediate coast of the northwestern Bahamas in areas of onshore winds, NHC says. Large parts of Florida are still reeling from destructive Hurricane Ian, which slammed into the southwestern portion of the state in Sept. 28 as a strong Category 4 hurricane and dumped massive amounts of rain, causing flooding across central Florida.
A subtropical storm is a non-frontal low-pressure system that has characteristics of both tropical and extratropical cyclones. They tend to be large and have a larger wind field, extending much further from their centers. Forecasters said in the advisory that the storm could possibly transition into a tropical system as it continues to develop.
