Not only was Nicole forecasting in the studio, but she took her expertise into the elements to track storms and cover the aftermath of the not so nice side of Mother Nature.
She also loves to get out into the community and do personal event forecasts from different towns in each and every county in the viewing area.

When Nicole doesn’t have her head in the clouds she loves playing with her rescue pup, Colby, traveling and watching the ‘Noles and New York Jets during football season.

Rain tapers off late this morning with highs reaching the upper 50s. Heavier rain and isolated storms Tuesday night into Wednesday before colder air arrives to close out the week.
Dry air and gusty winds will create dangerous fire conditions Thursday afternoon.
