Despite this becoming "fully tropical" it still will be lopsided with tropical storm force winds hundreds of miles north of the center, and maybe 50 miles south.
This makes a huge difference for your area. It is interesting than the Icon shifted south while others went north(though many ensembles remain south as discussed by the NHC).
I am clueless to where this will eventually make landfall, and eagerly waiting the WSW to SW motion. Hopefully by tomorrow morning we will have a good idea of the exact landfall as we should have an idea of how far south Nichole will be pushed.
If you look at the "Yankee" storm of 1935, it went almost due south until the Bahamas before going west. While the accuracy of the track is questionable, I do find that interesting even though it is not relevant to whats happening with Nichole.
