Discussion

At 400 PM EST (2100 UTC), the center of Post-Tropical Cyclone Nicole was located near latitude 37.7 North, longitude 82.0 West. The post-tropical cyclone is moving toward the northeast near 47 mph (76 km/h) and this motion is expected to continue through Saturday.

Maximum sustained winds are near 30 mph (45 km/h) with higher gusts. As the system has quickly transitioned to an extratropical cyclone, and will orbit around the periphery of a deepening low over the Great Lakes and southeast Canada, gusty surface winds and pressure falls will persist across the Northeast into this weekend. However, the risk of excessive rainfall and localized flash flooding with this extratropical transition will continue to diminish through Saturday and this will be the final advisory for Nicole.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1000 mb (29.53 inches).
