Boca Raton and the surrounding areas are in for some tropical storm-type weather with Nicole fast approaching and possibly strengthening into a hurricane.

Subtropical Storm Nicole is heading right for South Florida as it transforms into a Tropical Storm and possibly even a Category 1 Hurricane.

In an abundance of caution, Superintendent Mike Burke has made the decision to close District-operated schools and offices on Wednesday, September 28, as Hurricane Ian continues to gain strength and track closer to Florida’s west coast.

Hurricane Ian, now a major hurricane, is expected to strengthen into a category 4 hurricane before weakening and hitting the west coast of Florida.

The National Hurricane Center tells Boca Post that they expect Tropical Storm Ian to strengthen into a major hurricane and expects it to hit the west coast of Florida early next week.

The National Hurricane Center tells Boca Post that tropical storm 9 is likely to become a strong hurricane as it barrels towards the west coast of Florida.

There are now two hurricanes in the Atlantic and two additional tropical disturbances that the National Hurricane Center is continuing to watch.

The National Hurricane Center has been monitoring 3 different storm systems east of Florida with one potentially producing tropical storm weather.
