Default CNN: Tropical Storm Nicholas in open Atlantic
http://edition.cnn.com/2003/WEATHER/....ap/index.html

MIAMI, Florida (AP) -- Tropical Storm Nicholas was drifting slowly across
the Atlantic Ocean on Sunday and was not expected to strengthen or affect
land.

Nicholas had sustained winds of 50 mph early Sunday. Forecasters said it was
drifting toward the north-northwest near 2 mph.

Nicholas is expected to "hold its own for a little while and then weaken,"
said Richard Pasch, a hurricane specialist at the National Hurricane Center
in Miami.

At 5 a.m. EDT, Nicholas was centered about 870 miles east of the Leeward
Islands of the northeastern Caribbean.

It is the 14th named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season, which began
June 1 and ends November 30.
