Meteorologist so_whats_happening Posted November 10, 2022 Meteorologist Share Posted November 10, 2022 Well it did it. Low end hurricane most places of course will feel tropical storm force (almost all of Florida except the panhandle). Wouldn't be surprised to see a gust or two to hurricane status along the Florida coast when it makes landfall but other than that the flooding and storm surge will be by far the biggest concerns for coastal communities. Hope they took precaution as even 4 feet or so from a low end hurricane is enough to cause damage on top of just coming off a full moon too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meteorologist so_whats_happening Posted November 10, 2022 Meteorologist Share Posted November 10, 2022 (edited) Saw one report of a peak wind of 58 knots so just below 70 mph around Melbourne, FL. Looks to be going for a landfall around Vero Beach. Maybe a little more so on the southern side of track than originally thought. If this is correct it may just have enough to be able to go into the GOM briefly (no strengthening expected from this) but would change the potential surge situation in the bend of Florida and likely expand the TS force winds to pretty much all of the panhandle instead of once thought being cutoff around Tallahassee. Really do need to watch the tornado threat in the next 24 hours and see how this system transitions. Up our way in the Mid Atlantic and SNE area would need to watch Friday evening for a tornado threat especially around coastal regions getting winds from the SE and decent vorticity still hanging on as it passes probably just west of Harrisburg and DC/BWI area before a sharper curve into western Mass/Albany area. If meso models are correct, still rather long range for them up this way, we may only get 1-2" of rain of course nothing to pass off but the 2-4" now has pushed further west into western PA and western NY. SNE may experience a little bit of a training situation if storms do manage to develop around the area which would push localized locations into that 2-4" zone. Could have quite the winds though if we can mix out with 40knot winds at about 925mb. Might also get a punch of winds as the low passes nearby late Friday early Saturday through MD, DE, Eastern PA, NJ, SE NY, CT, RI, Mass and further into southern VT and NH, and coastal Maine. It isn't much we haven't experienced before and grateful the leaves are off the trees in these locations (for the most part) but a SE is a bit different for us than the typical NE flow we get with strong coastals.

Meteorologist ClicheVortex2014 Posted November 10, 2022 Meteorologist Share Posted November 10, 2022 (edited) Nice to see a hurricane make landfall in the US that's below Category 3. That said, the strong pressure gradient in this situation makes Nicole more impactful than the official sustained winds suggest. The north half of the eastern Florida coast is taking a beating.

Moderators StretchCT Posted November 10, 2022 Author Moderators Share Posted November 10, 2022 This is the landfall notice 300 AM EST Thu Nov 10 2022 ...NICOLE MAKES LANDFALL ALONG THE EAST COAST OF FLORIDA JUST SOUTH OF VERO BEACH... Radar imagery from Miami and Melbourne shows the center of Nicole has made landfall on the east coast of the Florida peninsula on North Hutchinson Island just south of Vero Beach. The maximum sustained winds are estimated to be 75 mph (120 km/h), and the minimum central pressure is estimated to be 981 mb (28.97 inches). This will be the last hourly update given the degraded radar structure of Nicole. SUMMARY OF 300 AM EST...0800 UTC...INFORMATION --------------------------------------------------- LOCATION...27.6N 80.4W ABOUT 15 MI...25 KM NNW OF FORT PIERCE FLORIDA MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...75 MPH...120 KM/H PRESENT MOVEMENT...WNW OR 290 DEGREES AT 14 MPH...22 KM/H MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...981 MB...28.97 INCHES $$ Forecaster Bucci/Reinhart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators StretchCT Posted November 10, 2022 Author Moderators Share Posted November 10, 2022 (edited) Current conditions: Decent blow in Pinellas Park currently in the SW "wall" East of Orlando with TS winds too. The Villages on the north side with near TS sustained Even up by JAX there good wind. Seems like this one is a pretty broad area of TS force winds Even in the dead middle of the peninsula is seeing TS winds.

Moderators StretchCT Posted November 11, 2022 Author Moderators Share Posted November 11, 2022 Been catching up with wxtwitter. This is all pretty amazing given that the storm was barely a hurricane, there are no hurricane winds observed, that most of the pictures/videos are from places 100+ miles to the north of landfall, and still 100 miles south of landfall set records for high water.
