Florida Braces for a Cat 1

Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Subtropical 
Storm Nicole, located over the southwestern Atlantic. 

1. Central Subtropical Atlantic:
An area of low pressure located about 700 miles east of Bermuda is 
producing winds near gale force, and a small area of showers and 
thunderstorms far removed to the east of the low's surface center.  
The system is accelerating northeastward toward cooler waters, 
while remaining in a region of strong upper-level winds.  
Consequently, the chance for significant development is quickly 
diminishing.  Additional information on this system, including gale 
warnings, can be found in High Seas Forecasts issued by the 
National Weather Service.
