Hermine: What to Expect and When to Expect It

The sheer scope of the storm means that the wicked weather could last well into Labor Day on Monday

Hermine was continuing its slow, destructive journey up the East Coast Sunday morning. Although it is no longer a hurricane, it may still bring hazardous weather to the tri-state.

Storm Team 4 saw the greatest risk for dangerous surge along the western shoreline of Long Island Sound.

Here's what to expect as the storm moves into our region this holiday weekend:

HERMINE MAP
Hermine is expected to weaken before it hits the tri-state, but the storm's bands are very wide and it looks like the system may stall out over the ocean. This means wind, rain and flooding may linger over the New York City area from late Saturday into Tuesday.
  • At 8 a.m., Hermine was throttling a region located 295 miles east-southeast of Ocean City, Md., still carrying maximum sustained winds of 65 mph, according to the National Hurricane Center.
  • The storm is moving east-northeast at 12 mph. The latest models and satellite data suggested a slight eastward track to the storm, potentially reducing many of its impacts.
  • As it continues to move north over the Atlantic Sunday morning, winds in the storm could reintensify before it affects the tri-state region.

  • Wind gusts exceeding 40 mph could begin affecting coastal areas of New Jersey Sunday morning.
  • Forecasters expect Hermine to regain hurricane force on Sunday.
  • Its path north will likely then slow Sunday evening, and the storm could settle just east of the tri-state area from Monday until Wednesday.
  • High winds could affect the tri-state region until Wednesday morning, making coastal flooding a concern for the entire region.
