Subtropical Storm Nicole formed early Monday morning and is expected to strengthen into a hurricane as it brings prolonged rain, wind and coastal flooding impacts to Florida and the southeastern U.S. this week. Here's what it means for a storm to be "subtropical." The important thing to know: No matter whether a storm is tropical or subtropical, they both can be powerful and still require preparations, especially on the coast. With a large storm such as Nicole, hurricane forecasters stress not to focus on Nicole's exact makeup, track or forecast cone. Hazards, including damaging winds, dangerous seas, storm surge and deadly riptides, will extend far outside the forecast cone.
