Here is an update from Mike Dutter of the National Weather Service:
“Attached is the updated briefing for Hermine. We are gaining confidence on a long duration coastal flooding event unfolding for the lower Chesapeake Bay and the ocean side of the eastern Shore of VA and MD. It is quite possible that major coastal flooding will occur in the Hampton Roads area during Saturday's high tide cycle, with continued flooding through Labor Day. In addition, major coastal flooding is possible along the ocean side of the Eastern Shore , especially Saturday Night right through Monday as Hermine stalls just offshore. Much of the water level forecast relies on the exact track of Hermine, and where the storm stalls offshore.
The
next update will occur Saturday morning.”
Attached for
your reviews is the aforementioned NWS 1-pager as well as the most current storm track, hourly
graph, rainfall forecast and tide graph – all of which are showing consistency
with previous forecasts.
We will observe
conditions in the morning and also await the NWS morning update, forwarding you the latest as quickly as possible. Likewise, please report any issues or concerns to us in the Norfolk Emergency Operations Center at james.redick@norfolk.gov.
Thanks!
Jim
