Tropical Storm Nicole remnants

[CanisLupusArctos]

Remnants of Tropical Storm Nicole are making their way up the east coast this afternoon and will affect New England tomorrow. There is a high wind watch in effect for most of southern New England and part of southern New Hampshire, where wind gusts may be around 60 mph. I wouldn't be surprised to see it extended further north as the storm nears.

A flood watch is now in effect for all of New Hampshire for amounts of 1.5 to 3 inches, with greatest amounts near the Vermont border and lightest near the Maine border.

Tropical remnants have been known to spawn tornadoes. In 2004, tropical storm remnants spawned a twister over Meredith that became a waterspout over Meredith Bay. Any tornado that forms in this kind of "tropical deluge" atmosphere will likely be rain-wrapped and therefore hidden to anyone standing at a safe distance.

Pay attention to weather forecasts as this weather event unfolds.
