    1. 2. Hermine is expected to undergo a complex interaction with a
      frontal system when it reaches the Carolinas over the weekend. It
      is a little early to say what the specific impacts will be for the
      mid-Atlantic and northeastern states.

  1. There hasn't actually been a hurricane landfall in Florida since 2005. Can Hermine get to that strength? It'll be close.

    1. I went to FL in 2005, and everywhere I went on the Gulf Coast was tragic evidence of Ivan. They hadn't had a chance to clear that damage before the 2005 season hit.

      I'll still take my earthquakes.

          1. I can't keep up with the locales of all the wonkvillains. I'm on the east side of the Sierra for the moment, going to NV on Sunday for a few days. I feel like a ping pong ball sometimes.

            Nope, didn't feel a thing! The big'n off the coast of the North Island, right?

          2. It's difficult, especially since some members of the Wonkville Area of Operations have switched locations. (I remain in the Pasadena, San Gabriel valley sector.)

          3. I spent a few months in Glendale when I was working in Pasadena a lifetime ago. It was nice, 45 years ago. I was back in Glendale in 2014 on a medical tourism trip. I miss the Socialists of yore.

    2. It's strengthened significantly" to the east (as of the 1200 bulletin, which I can't imbed fro some reason ), and the TS watches/warnings have been extended I think it's going to bring a lot of water down, hurricane force or not.

      1200:
      Reports from a hurricane hunter aircraft indicate that
      the extent of tropical-storm-force winds has increased
      significantly in the eastern semicircle. This requires an
      extension of the tropical storm warning southward along both
      Florida coasts. This Special Advisory is being issued to modify
      the warnings, and to update the analyzed and forecast wind radii.

  2. The most important consideration here is that broadcasters need to remember that "Hermine" was the sexually ambiguous character in Steppenwolf who lead Harry Haller on his journey of discovery and weirdness, and that the name is pronounced HAIR-me-nuh, not her-MEAN.

  3. Good news for those of you in the northeast, though. You'll get full cyclone advisories and warnings even after it becomes non-tropical.

    2. Hermine is expected to become a post-tropical cyclone while still
    producing hazardous winds and storm surge over land. NWS policy
    allows NHC to write advisories on and issue tropical storm
    watches and warnings for post-tropical cyclones, when the system
    continues to pose a significant threat to life and property.
    NHC and the NWS Eastern Region have decided that this option will be
    invoked for Hermine. After Hermine becomes a post-tropical cyclone,
    NHC will continue to issue its full suite of advisory and warning
    products for as long as the system remains a significant threat to
    land.
