Synopsis:
Post Tropical Storm Hermine will continue to move toward the West/Northwest today and begin to weaken. A Tropical Strom Warning remains in effect for Suffolk county and parts of coastal Connecticut for winds that may reach 40+mph in the next 24 hours. Coastal flooding at the time of high tide will occur in those areas prone to flooding. The water may reach one to two feet above normal.
High surf, dangerous rip currents and beach erosion will be an issue at our local beaches.
A mix of sun and clouds is expected for back to school and work. A few spotty showers can’t be ruled out at the coast. It’ll be warm. Hermine will move farther offshore midweek and a weak area of high pressure will develop over the Southeast by late week. This high will pump up late Summer heat. With readings reaching 90º with higher humidity.
