Weather Authority: Winds will howl overnight into Saturday as remnants of Nicole roll across the region
PHILADELPHIA - The Delaware Valley braces for high winds as round two of the remnants of Tropical Depression Nicole cross the region.
Nicole, which made landfall in Florida as a Category 1 Hurricane, is now a tropical depression making its way up the East Coast.
According to FOX 29's Scott Williams, rainfall totals across the Delaware Valley are up to a half inch to about an inch, with more on the way. Severe weather was not reported earlier Friday, but that could change overnight into Saturday. A brief, isolated tornado can't be ruled out.

As round two gears up, from about midnight through Saturday morning, the strongest winds with the system will blow through, as well as isolated severe thunderstorms.
Wind advisories for Cape May, Atlantic and Ocean Counties will take effect at 1 p.m. and last until 9 a.m. on Saturday. Winds are expected to gust up to 50 mph along the shore and inland to about 40 mph. Winds will howl overnight.
Conditions for the area, in terms of temperatures, should be mild and muggy, with lows only reaching the mid 60s.
Similar temperatures will linger in the area Saturday before temperatures drop to numbers more consistent with this time of year. Saturday will be a dry day, as we recover from Nicole, with breezy, but sunny conditions.
