Keeping an eye on the Tropics, we are expecting a broad low-pressure area to develop by the end of the weekend near the Bahamas.

This low-pressure system could very well become our next named storm, which would be Nicole.

Regardless of development, we’re going to see some impacts along our coastline.

Although it is too early to determine the exact timing, strength and location, driving winds will bring rain and rough seas as we head into the upcoming week.
