You can see hermine nearly 200 miles offshore. But it is gaining strength as it heads back to the east coast. Thanks for joining us. Im denise na qana. There is a lot going on tonight. Heres whats new right now. The storm is offshore at this hour. The center is still south of the delaware beaches. Heres what were paying attention to. The next high tide is scheduled for around 10 00 tonight up and down our coastline. That will be critical as we wait to see what kind of flooding we can expect. And within the past hour, we got a new updated storm track which were watching carefully. We have Team Coverage with reporters stretched up and down the shoreline. Were at the delaware beaches, the jersey shore and in center city, philadelphia, to show you the conditions in your neighborhood. But we start with first alert chief meteorologist glenn hurricane schwartz with the newest information about the track of hermine. Glenn . Yeah, denise, it is centered offshore. Its very close to hurricane strength but its not really tropical system. The center of it as you can see offshore, moved off the North Carolina coast earlier. Now starting to move more to the northeast. And the rain area is close to the jersey shore but it has not reached it. Its 45 miles offshore. And if anything, the rain is moving away. For now. Thats a temporary thing as youll see. 70mileanhour maximum winds moving eastnortheast at 12 miles an hour. Continuing to move in that direction overnight tonight and into tomorrow. But the key is when and if it makes that left turn. It is expected. The question also is, how far west does it go once it does turn. We very often see storms intensify once they do make these kind of turns. It is expected to go up toward hurricane force, and this is a slow movement. Sunday, monday, tuesday. Its still there right off the new jersey coast. So the general trend is still going to be happening. The on shore wind continues to pile up the water. And were going to continue to see this flood threat, coastal flood threat for the most part. Mild coastal flooding for tonights high tide. tomorrow nights high tide at least moderate coastal flooding in parts of the south jersey shore and the delaware beaches as the wind increases to 30 to 40 and the rain moves in later tomorrow, tomorrow night. The rain lingers on monday as the winds pick up even more as that left turn brings hermine closer and closer to the coast. A very critical tricky forecast. Well see what effect its going to have on different parts of the area in just a few minutes. And skyforce10 flying live over rough surf over avalon.

The more hours we have of this on shore wind, the more the water builds up and creates greater flooding down the road. The center of the storm is about 250 miles southeast of cape may right now. Its continuing to move away from land at the moment. You can see the center of it right around there. And the edge of the precipitation is about 45, 50 miles away from Atlantic City. And as you can see, its not really getting any closer as we go through the afternoon. So were okay tonight. Weve sent storm ranger to louis, delaware, one of the places likely to be hardest hit.

Right now, weve got a 70mileanhour storm moving eastnortheast at 12. And continuing to move to the northeast, overnight tonight. But its going to make a left turn. According to most of the computer models. Left turns can be trouble. It can lead to intensification and once it makes that left turn, its hard to tell when that is going to stop and start going back. So the closer it gets to the coast, the worse the weather conditions are going to get. The farther inland the rain will get, its obviously not going to move much this wednesday. Wednesday, its still not that far away. So its going to be in the picture. And picking up it the winds and the waves. Philadelphias flooding expected to be minor. Atlantic city moderate to major.

This is a beach thing and water is very dangerous and at high tide, theres going to be flooding near the ocean. Flooding at the back bay. And you dont want to drive through flooded streets. And the storm when it goes out to sea, the biggest concern is when it whips back around. Yeah, if it would continue moving in its current direction, wed be fine. And most storms do. At this time of the year in that area. But not this one. All right. Some people might be considering at this point to leave the shore areas if thats going to happen. Jessica has a look at traffic and its light right now. Thats exactly right. Most of that rush of traffic home happened a little bit earlier this morning and into the afternoon. Right now, good to go.
