Hurricane Hermine made landfall last night in FL and has been tracking through the southeast today as a tropical storm, bringing winds over 40 mph and several inches of rain.

TS warnings are in effect from the coast of GA up through the Delmarva Peninsula. Tropical storm watches are in effect from Delaware up to the CT/RI border, including Long Island and NYC. Please see the image below for the complete list of watches & warnings as issued by the NHC.

Once Hermine exits the coast of NC tomorrow morning, it should be able to strengthen back to a hurricane by Sunday or Monday. The water temperatures off the mid-Atlantic coast are running above average and there is plenty of ocean heat content for the system to strengthen.

The exact track of Hermine beyond Saturday is still little uncertain and therefore, the NHC has a fairly wide cone Sun-Wed. One thing we know for sure is that Hermine will not be able to make a quick escape out to sea as an area of high pressure will build to the north, preventing a path out to sea. There is a possibility that Hermine could make landfall, but at this time the most likely solution is that Hermine will stall just offshore of the mid-Atlantic coast for a few days and eventually begin to weaken or move out to sea Wednesday or Thursday.

12Z EURO model run today shows a closer track towards the coast.

Even if Hermine does not make landfall, the effects could be devastating to some portions of the coast. At minimum, tropical storm force conditions, heavy rain and a storm surge of 3-5’ feet are possible from Long Island down through SE Virginia. We encourage anyone who has Labor Day plans along the coast to make alternate plans. The closer the system tracks towards the coast, the worse the effects will be. To make matters even worse, some guidance is strengthening Hermine into a CAT or CAT 3 hurricane just offshore. Unfortunately, this could be a devastating setup for some portions of the mid-Atlantic coast early next week. All residents and interests in the regions should complete preparations by tomorrow afternoon.
