Hurricane Hermine Update

Hermine made landfall as a hurricane last night in the Panhandle of Florida and is now a tropical storm over South Georgia. Hermine will move into Eastern North Carolina tomorrow, then track about 100 miles offshore to a position east of Atlantic City Sunday where it will stall or slowly move eastward early next week. While a decent amount of rain, wind and beach erosion will occur along the coastal areas, the affects along the I-95 corridor will be minimal. We do not expect any flooding of the Chesapeake or Delaware Bays, but a long fetch of east winds will cause flooding on the west side of Long Island Sound and Boston Harbor at times of high tides Sunday and Monday
