It was centered about 15 miles (25 kilometers) north-northwest of Fort Pierce and was moving west-northwest at 14 mph.
Officials said the storm was already battering a large area of the state with strong winds, “dangerous” storm surge and heavy rain.
Nicole is expected to weaken while moving across Florida and the southeastern United States and is likely to become a post-tropical cyclone by Friday afternoon, the NHC said.
At a news conference in Tallahassee, Gov. Ron DeSantis said that winds were the biggest concern and significant power outages could occur.
He said 16,000 linemen were on standby to restore power, as well as 600 guardsmen and seven search and rescue teams.
DeSantis also signed an order, expanding the number of Florida counties under a state of emergency to 45. Many of those areas are still reeling from the devastation caused by Hurricane Ian, which hit Florida’s southwestern coast as a Category 4 storm on September 28.
