Looks like Tropical Storm Nicole is forming now. Should hit the Bahamas tomorrow and central Florida Tue/Wed.

Probably won't be a hurricane.  But Nicole can still cause trouble.

Hurricane watch/warnings posted for Broward, Palm Beach, and Miami-Dade Counties.

I know, as soon as I  posted I saw on our local weather channel that it's supposed to become a hurricane.

How bad will the disruptions be?  I am supposed to fly in Friday morning (touch down 6am) into Orlando for a Saturday cruise.  Seems like the brunt of the storm will be wed/thurs.

Airlines are waiving change fees for flights into Miami (and other airports I'm sure) mid week. 

 

I'm supposed to fly BOS-MIA Thursday morning arriving around 2:00PM.  I'm thinking that's probably not going to happen.  My question is whether same flight Friday morning would happen?  Seems like it should be well over by then.

 

And bummer that @PelicanBill is away through this.

For MIA specifically Friday at 2pm you have a great chance for clear skies. Considering how front loaded the storm is - and how far north it's tracking - Thursday may not be as bad as you'd imagine barring any large changes. The cold front stalled and won't be forcing much south. However, BOS - MIA doesn't leave much room to fly around. 

 

EDIT: As soon as I say that the 11ams start coming in and Thursday morning looks like centered over Orlando.

Thanks for jumping in!

 

The login problem wrecked my access for the last 2 weeks while I was on my cruise.  Sorry to all those whose travel was disrupted by Nicole. What a surprising storm so late in the season.  Many people on my cruise were saying "but the season ended November 1..."   no it didn't!  Season ends November 30!

 

Martin pushed away a couple days before we arrived to Jamaica.  Nicole pushed away a couple days before we arrived to Grand Turk.  It left 8-10' seas for us, which was unsettling to many on our ship after 12 days of smooth as glass sailing. Every day, smooth, sunny, amazing.

 

It's been a decent season for storms - not too much disruption and damage to cruise interests.

I don't expect we'll have much to discuss after this!
