Nicole Becomes A Hurricane

It may never hit land but it is going to be a key player in the track of Hurricane Matthew. It will effectively block Hurricane Matthew from moving out to sea once it reaches South Carolina and instead force it south and than southwestward possibly back to Florida early next week.  You can see the two storms on the satellite loop and how they are working each in their own separate environments.
