Remainder of bulletin unchanged:


For Tropical Depression Nicole.


Tropical Depression Nicole is currently centered over western North Carolina and will be merging with a cold front and becoming post tropical this evening and overnight. The centre of this combined weather system will track through New England early tomorrow and into the Maritimes tomorrow evening.


This will essentially be an autumn type storm while impacting Eastern Canada as far west as Ontario. In fact, heavy rain well north of the depression has already spread into the Niagara and Toronto areas and will spread into southern Quebec this evening. Rain and wind will occur over the Maritime provinces with very mild, tropical temperatures and gusty winds over Nova Scotia (around 60 km/h) on the warm side and strong, cold northeasterly winds on the north side of the system. Parts of central and eastern Quebec and eventually Newfoundlland will even see some snow, Local weather statements and warnings have been posted for many areas.


Rainfall is forecast to be in the 50-75 mm range in the warned areas with a potential for 100 mm over far southern Quebec, central New Brunswick or over higher terrain in Newfoundland. We do not anticipate winds to be much of a concern except possibly over the Acadian Peninsula area of New Brunswick and the Gaspe region of Quebec (possibly gusts to 90 km/h). Elevated water levels and wave activity will occur over the northern Gulf of St Lawrence affecting northeastern New Brunswick and the Gaspe region that could cause some minor flooding. A storm surge warning is in effect along the eastern Gaspe peninsula and northern shore of the Bay of Chaleur.


This is the final planned bulletin from the CHC on this system.

DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK

----------------------

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).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND

----------------------

Key messages for post-tropical cyclone Nicole can be found in the

Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT2, WMO

header WTNT42 KNHC, and on the web at

TORNADOES:  A couple of tornadoes will be possible early this

evening across portions of southeast Virginia and Delmarva.


RAINFALL:  Nicole is expected to produce an additional 1 to 3 inches

of rain across the central Appalachians, northern Mid-Atlantic and

New England through Saturday morning.


Renewed river flooding on the St. Johns River in Florida is

ongoing.


Across portions of the Appalachians, upper Ohio Valley,

Mid-Atlantic, and New England, through early Saturday, limited

flooding impacts will be possible.
