09/02 Ryan’s “Following Hermine” Friday Forecast

We’ve been following Hermine since her overnight landfall near the Big Bend area of Florida, and so far the forecast path has been accurate. Hermine roared across Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and has been slowly pushing into North Carolina over the last few hours. Heavy rains and tropical storm force or higher winds are expected over the next 5 or so days, and it looks like a blocking high pressure center will force Hermine back towards land (although in the NE this time) as we begin next week.

Locally, we’re seeing a weak boundary trailing behind Hermine settling over the coastline, which will linger causing a slight increase in cloud cover and rain chances over Labor Day weekend. So other than a few afternoon showers mixing things up, you can expect sunny, hot, and humid conditions over the next week. Temperatures look to remain in the upper 80s and low 90s, but high pressure could increase those numbers slightly over the next few days.
