Hermine Update 9-3-16 at 4:45 - National Weather Service Report

From Bill Sammler of the National Weather Service:

No significant changes to our previous thinking regarding Hermine and its impacts. Rainfall has subsided significantly since this morning, with only minor amounts expected this evening/overnight. No additional rainfall flooding is anticipated at this time, although another band of significant rain spiraling around Hermine may move across much of the area late Sunday night/Monday. Winds will continue subsiding overnight, but remain gusty, especially near the Bay/Ocean. Coastal flooding remains a concern, especially oceanside areas of the VA/MD Eastern Shore, where moderate to severe flooding will be possible. This concern will persist through Monday. The upcoming high tide in southside Hampton Roads/Peninsula/coastal Currituck could rival that of this morning, with gradually decreasing water levels thereafter. However, minor coastal flooding could persist all areas Bay/Ocean into Monday.
