SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT: None. DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK ------------------------------ At 200 PM EDT (1800 UTC), the center of Post-Tropical Cyclone Hermine was located near latitude 39.4 North, longitude 72.3 West. The post-tropical cyclone is moving toward the west near 7 mph (11 km/h). A decrease in forward speed is expected for the rest of today, followed by a slow and erratic motion tonight and a motion toward the northeast on Wednesday. Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 50 mph (85 km/h) with higher gusts. Additional gradual weakening is likely during the next couple of days, and Hermine may weaken below tropical storm force by Thursday. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 115 miles (185 km) from the center. The estimated minimum central pressure is 999 mb (29.50 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- WIND: Locally gusty winds over portions of Long Island and southeastern New England should diminish during the next 24 hours. STORM SURGE: Water levels remain elevated along the coast of Long Island, but they should subside during the next day or so as Hermine exits the area. RAINFALL: Hermine is expected to produce additional light rainfall amounts not exceeding 1 inch along the mid-Atlantic and southern New England coastlines from New Jersey to eastern Long Island to southeastern Massachusetts. SURF: Large waves generated by Hermine will continue to affect the U.S. east coast from the mid-Atlantic states through New England for another couple of days. These waves are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions, and significant beach erosion. Please consult products from your local weather office.
