RICHMOND, Va. (WWBT) -Nicole formed early Monday and was upgraded to a tropical storm Tuesday morning. Remnants of Nicole likely brings heavy rain to Virginia Friday after making landfall in Florida early Thursday.

Heavy rain could cause some localized flooding, especially in poor drainage areas. Rain looks likely to move in early Friday and continue off and on into the evening.

Here is the latest National Hurricane Center track of Tropical Storm Nicole as of Tuesday 10 p.m.:

What will soon be Hurricane Nicole is set to make landfall late Wednesday on the east coast of Florida(NHC)

Nicole is set to strengthen into a category 1 hurricane Wednesday afternoon with 75mph winds as it approaches Florida’s east coast. Storm surge, heavy rainfall and flash flooding are expected late Wednesday into Thursday.

Central Virginia needs rain and lots of it, so although we are calling it a First Alert Weather Day, the rain could end up being largely beneficial. 1″-3″ rain total are possible with locally higher amounts possible.

The latest forecast path takes the center near or just west of central Virginia on Friday, which would put us on the right hand side of the storm, which is where there may be severe weather including an isolated tornado threat. With high temperatures in the low 70s Friday, that is something to watch closely.

Make sure to not rake or blow leaves into ditches the next couple days. Keep them clear so the water can flow versus backing up and cause localized flooding.

We are calling Friday a First Alert Weather Day because of impacts from Nicole in Virginia.(WWBT)

Some GOOD NEWS for Saturday (Richmond Marathon Day).

Rain moves out during the predawn hours Saturday. Exact timing is still in question with Nicole’s track but the rain chance after sunrise Saturday is dropping quickly. Be ready for a cool, dry breeze on Saturday that will bring dropping temperatures into the 50s for the afternoon. Be careful of wet roads and puddles!
