Nicole formed as a subtropical storm about 600 miles east of the Bahamas on November 7th, then moved northwest. Nicole gained tropical characteristics and became a tropical storm on November 8th as it turned west and west-southwest. Nicole strengthened into a Category 1 hurricane on November 9th as it moved over Great Abaco and Grand Bahama islands. Nicole then turned to the northwest as it approached Florida, making landfall just south of Vero Beach at 3 AM on November 10th as a Category 1 hurricane with lowest central pressure of 981 mb. Nicole then was downgraded to a tropical storm while moving inland across Central Florida.
Nicole's large wind field west of the storm center led to tropical storm force winds along the SE Florida coast and adjacent Atlantic waters beginning on the afternoon of November 8th and continuing until the pre-dawn hours of November 10th. Tropical storm force winds also spread across Lake Okeechobee during the late night of November 9th and early morning of November 10th.

Tidal flooding and beach erosion were observed along most of the SE Florida coast from the Miami area northward through the Palm Beaches.
