Here is the latest on Tropical Storm Nicole from the National Weather Service:

NICOLE IS STRENGTHENING AS IT MOVES TOWARD THE NORTHWESTERN BAHAMAS…

At 100 PM EST (1800 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Nicole was about 310 miles (500 km) northeast of the northwestern Bahamas. Nicole is moving toward the west near 9 mph (15 km/h). A west-southwest motion is expected through early Wednesday. A west-northwest motion is forecast to begin on Wednesday night, followed by a turn toward the northwest and north-northwest on Thursday and Thursday night. On the forecast track, the center of Nicole will approach the northwestern Bahamas today and tonight, move near or over those islands on Wednesday, and approach the east coast of Florida within the hurricane warning area Wednesday night. Nicole’s center is then expected to move across central and northern Florida into southern Georgia Thursday and Thursday night.

Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 60 mph (95 km/h) with higher gusts. Strengthening is expected during the next day or so, and Nicole is forecast to a hurricane on Wednesday when it is near the northwestern Bahamas, and remain a hurricane when it approaches the east coast of Florida. Nicole is a large tropical cyclone. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 380 miles (610 km) from the center. The estimated minimum central pressure is 992 mb (29.29 inches).
