Wednesday 11PM Hurricane Nicole Updates For Tampa Bay

It’s technically a hurricane, but barely. New updates show that Tropical Storm Nicole is now Hurricane Nicole. Winds at the 11p.m. update are around 75 MPH which are expected to die down as the storm makes landfall. Tampa weather guru Dennis Phillips has reported all night that he is not worried. Tampa residents can expect some fallen tree branches, maybe some patio screen damage, but no major destruction. The worst of the storm is expected to hit around 7am in the Tampa Bay area. If you can, avoid driving tomorrow morning.

In Dennis We Trust
10pm Hurricane Nicole Update: New track is out and it really looks about the same. No changes to track or intensity. Look for a squally morning for the Bay Area with sustained winds of 45 mph and gusts to 60 in some areas. The latest after the CMA's. pic.twitter.com/hJMcM7nhur

Nicole is now a hurricane. Hurricane Hunters found winds of 75 mph. This changes NOTHING. The storm is 5 mph stronger than it was before. Don't freak out with all the alerts telling you this is a hurricane. No changes to our thinking. We're on LIVE right now on ABC Action News. pic.twitter.com/T0YI2wIu3o

Tampa Can Look Forward To Some Fall Weather
Talk about a weather pattern change!! Once we get #Nicole out of the way, cold air will pour south out of Canada. I don't ever recall the entire Lower 48 in blue for below normal temps in the 6 to 10 day outlook. 🥶 pic.twitter.com/T5K88bxeJe
