(Cleveland)- Now that Nicole has been downgraded to a Tropical Depression White County Emergency Operations Center has reduced its status to OPCON 3, and will continue to monitor the storm system.
Don Strength, Deputy Director of White County Emergency Management Agency said at 11:30 PM Nicole had weakened to a Tropical Depression near the Florida/Georgia border south of Albany. The highest winds noted were in the 25 to 35 mph range from just south of Atlanta to Albany.
This is the area of weather that will eventually move across or just southeast of White County around or shortly after daybreak. Strength said even though he does not expect wind gusts much higher that 25 – 30 mph, combined with periods of heavy rain, driving conditions will not be good for the morning commute. Scattered downed trees and power outages remain a real possibility through at least noon today.
