Hurricane Warning Issued For Florida’s East Coast

November 8, 2022 News, Weather

AccuWeather reports:

A hurricane warning was issued along the central part of Florida’s east coast on Tuesday as Tropical Storm Nicole churned across the Atlantic and showed signs of further strengthening as it tracked toward the storm-weary state. AccuWeather meteorologists expect this sprawling storm to take a turn and hit Florida’s east coast — as a hurricane — later this week before it takes a run up the Eastern Seaboard. The Sunshine State faces long-duration impacts from pounding surf, strong winds and torrential rain.

The Palm Beach Post reports:

Palm Beach County District schools and offices will close both Wednesday and Thursday, Superintendent Mike Burke said in an email to parents Tuesday morning. The county’s Department of Emergency Management will open emergency shelters, including six school-based shelters beginning Wednesday at 7 a.m., according to the announcement from the school district. Palm Beach County students did not have classes Tuesday in observance of Election Day, where many schools are used as polling places.

The Orlando Sentinel reports:



The latest path projection predicts landfall in southern Brevard County as a Category 1 hurricane with 75 mph sustained winds and 90 mph gusts. It’s then projected to move northwest across the state over metro Orlando before shifting to the north late Thursday and heading up through Gainesville and Tallahassee and into the southern U.S. The NHC’s cone of uncertainty still has a wide swath, with the storm’s projected forecast to move anywhere as far south as Boca Raton to as far north as Jacksonville.
