Newscast Media BOSTON—Tropical Storm Hermine is expected to slowly meander off the Northeast coast through Tuesday, and will continue to impact areas from the Jersey coast to Connecticut and Massachusetts, with battering waves, coastal flooding and beach erosion over the next couple of days. Impacts are expected to gradually lessen on Tuesday and Wednesday, but may still be life-threatening.
Hermine is expected to continue to bring tropical storm force winds to the southeast New England coast. Hermine is anticipated to move clsoer to the coast into Tuesday which means there may still be an uptick in its capability to generate waves and there is still a chance some of those stronger winds are able to bend back toward the coast.
Despite being a post-tropical cyclone, tropical storm warnings are in effect from the coast of Long Island from Fire Island Inlet to Port Jefferson Harbor, New Haven, Connecticut, to Sagamore Beach, Massachusetts, Block Island (Rhode Island), and for the islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket.
Wind gusts over 40 mph may lead to sporadic power outages and downed tree limbs near the coast. The heaviest rain should remain offshore, but eastern Massachusetts, including Cape Cod and its offshore islands, run the greatest risk for heavy rain.
