Nicole Now A Tropical Storm, Projected To Make Landfall In Florida As Category 1 Hurricane

As Nicole continues to gain strength, The National Hurricane Center has revealed that

Nicole has now gained full tropical storm status as winds consolidate around the center of circulation and the system’s pressure falls.

The National Hurricane Center’s 10 a.m. update indicated a northward shift in the storm’s track, which now brings in more of Central Florida’s coast into play in terms of landfall.

Tropical Storm Nicole is now forecast to strengthen into a Category 1 hurricane on its path toward Florida, with a potential impact on the east coast in Brevard County.

In the latest update from the National Hurricane the center of the projected path goes in right through the southern Space Coast over the Melbourne and Palm Bay Area towards Orlando and the surrounding areas.

Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando, and SeaWord Orlando are still in the crosshairs of the storm in the coming days.

The window for the most severe weather in the theme park areas remains late Wednesday and throughout Thursday.
