#NOTJIMCANTORE Strikes Again Ahead of Nicholas

There has been another #NOTJIMCANTORE sighting in Victoria!  If you remember back to last year, we were introduced to #NOTJIMCANTORE. Victoria resident Cody Shugart brought a comedic spin to Storm reporting in the Crossroads during Hurricane Hanna, which made landfall near Port Mansfield.  He is now giving us play-by-play of the approach of Tropical Storm Nicholas.

As of the 7 o'clock update, Tropical Storm Nicholas currently has sustained winds of 40 MPH.  Nicholas is forecast to strengthen into a moderate to a strong tropical storm as it makes this general trek. Landfall should happen sometime Monday into Tuesday. The National Hurricane Center expects Nicholas to track northward near or just off the coasts of northeast Mexico and Texas through early this week, Effects will be felt in Victoria starting on Monday.

All kidding aside, please stay tuned to your weather reports as Tropical Storm Nicholas continues to evolve.
