Rain should move out overnight Friday and clouds will clear early Saturday as winds relax. Expect a nice mix of sun and clouds on Saturday with highs in the low to mid 70s.

Tropical Update
Tropical Storm Nicole is moving across west central Florida. On the forecast track, the center of Nicole will emerge over the far northeastern Gulf of Mexico this afternoon. The center should then move across the Florida Panhandle and Georgia tonight and then move through the southeastern United States on Friday.
Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 50 mph with higher gusts. Additional weakening is expected while the center is over land. Little change in strength is expected while Nicole is over the Gulf of Mexico this afternoon and evening. Nicole is expected to weaken to a depression over Georgia tonight, and then merge with a frontal boundary over the Mid-Atlantic by Friday night.
Nicole remains a large tropical storm. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 345 miles from the center, especially to the northeast.
