<p>SITUATION OVERVIEW ------------------</p>

<p><!-- end ngIf: line --><!-- end ngRepeat: line in alertDetail.narrative track by $index --><!-- ngIf: line --></p>

<p>HERMINE MADE LANDFALL IN FLORIDA LAST NIGHT AND HAS WEAKENED. AS A RESULT, IT HAS BEEN DOWNGRADED TO A TROPICAL STORM. HERMINE IS EXPECTED TO MOVE NORTHEASTWARD INTO THE CAROLINAS ON SATURDAY AND OFF THE MID-ATLANTIC COAST SATURDAY NIGHT. THE STORM IS THEN EXPECTED TO STALL OFF THE COAST SUNDAY AND MONDAY BEFORE GRADUALLY MOVING AWAY FROM THE AREA DURING THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.</p>

<p><!-- end ngIf: line --><!-- end ngRepeat: line in alertDetail.narrative track by $index --><!-- ngIf: line --></p>

<p>A TROPICAL STORM WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR PORTIONS OF THE MID- ATLANTIC COAST INCLUDING SOUTHERN DELAWARE AND COASTAL NEW JERSEY FROM CAPE MAY TO SANDY HOOK. THIS WATCH ALSO INCLUDES COASTAL WATERS AND THE LOWER DELAWARE BAY. SUSTAINED TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS ARE POSSIBLE OVER IMMEDIATE COASTAL AREAS INCLUDING COASTAL WATERS AND TOWARD THE LOWER DELAWARE BAY. SOME TROPICAL STORM FORCE GUSTS ARE POSSIBLE FARTHER INLAND.</p>

<p><!-- end ngIf: line --><!-- end ngRepeat: line in alertDetail.narrative track by $index --><!-- ngIf: line --></p>

<p>HAZARDOUS SEAS AND DANGEROUSLY ROUGH SURF CAN BE EXPECTED THROUGHOUT THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND AND POSSIBLY INTO THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. A MODERATE TO HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK CAN BE EXPECTED AT THE BEACHES DURING THIS TIME.</p>

<p><!-- end ngIf: line --><!-- end ngRepeat: line in alertDetail.narrative track by $index --><!-- ngIf: line --></p>

<p>MINOR TO MODERATE COASTAL FLOODING IS POSSIBLE AROUND THE TIMES OF HIGH TIDE FROM LATE SATURDAY ONWARD. SOME LOCALIZED MAJOR COASTAL FLOODING CAN NOT BE RULED OUT, ESPECIALLY IN THE BACK BAYS WHERE WATER ACCUMULATES WITH EACH SUCCESSIVE HIGH TIDE. THE MAGNITUDE OF THE COASTAL FLOODING WILL ULTIMATELY DEPEND ON THE PATH AND STRENGTH OF THE STORM. THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR MORE THAN 2 INCHES OF RAINFALL. SOME AREAS NEAR THE COAST IN DELAWARE AND SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY MAY RECEIVE 4 TO 6 INCHES WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS, WHICH COULD LEAD TO FLOODING.</p>

<p>POTENTIAL IMPACTS -----------------</p>

<p><!-- end ngIf: line --><!-- end ngRepeat: line in alertDetail.narrative track by $index --><!-- ngIf: line --></p>

POTENTIAL IMPACTS IN THIS AREA INCLUDE: - LOCALIZED INUNDATION IS POSSIBLE WITH STORM SURGE FLOODING MAINLY ALONG IMMEDIATE SHORELINES AND IN LOW-LYING SPOTS, OR IN AREAS FARTHER INLAND NEAR WHERE HIGHER SURGE WATERS MOVE ASHORE. - SECTIONS OF NEAR-SHORE ROADS AND PARKING LOTS COULD BECOME OVERSPREAD WITH SURGE WATER. DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE IN PLACES WHERE SURGE WATER COVERS THE ROAD. - MODERATE BEACH EROSION IS EXPECTED. HEAVY SURF ALSO BREACHING DUNES, MAINLY IN USUALLY VULNERABLE LOCATIONS. STRONG RIP CURRENTS ARE ANTICIPATED. - MINOR TO LOCALLY MODERATE DAMAGE TO MARINAS, DOCKS, BOARDWALKS, AND PIERS IS POSSIBLE. A FEW SMALL CRAFT MAY BE BROKEN AWAY FROM MOORINGS.</p>

SOUTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND NORTHEAST MARYLAND., LITTLE TO NO IMPACT IS ANTICIPATED.</p>

RAPID PONDING OF WATER MAY OCCUR AT UNDERPASSES, LOW-LYING SPOTS, AND POOR DRAINAGE AREAS. SEVERAL STORM DRAINS AND RETENTION PONDS BECOME NEAR-FULL AND BEGIN TO OVERFLOW. SOME BRIEF ROAD AND BRIDGE CLOSURES ARE POSSIBLE.</p>

<p><!-- end ngIf: line --><!-- end ngRepeat: line in alertDetail.narrative track by $index --><!-- ngIf: line --></p>

<p>IF YOU LIVE IN A PLACE PARTICULARLY VULNERABLE TO FLOODING, SUCH AS NEAR THE OCEAN, IN A LOW LYING OR POOR DRAINAGE AREA, IN A VALLEY, OR NEAR AN ALREADY SWOLLEN RIVER, PLAN TO MOVE TO SAFE SHELTER ON HIGHER GROUND</p>

<p><!-- end ngIf: line --><!-- end ngRepeat: line in alertDetail.narrative track by $index --><!-- ngIf: line --></p>
