6pm Update: *Major Tropical Storm To Affect Mid Atlantic This Weekend*

Thanks for checking in to my evening update. Here is a summary of my latest thoughts on Hurricane Hermine's impacts to our region later this week. 

• Major tropical system effects the entire Mid-Atlantic region on late Saturday through Sunday
• Hurricane Hermine, which is about to make landfall in Flordia, will work its way up the coast as a hybrid tropical cyclone and stall just off the Mid-Atlantic Sunday and Monday
• *Not a final forecast, exact details on the track still need to be worked out including if this trends out to sea*

• The biggest threat with this system is in the immediate coastal areas
• Expect flooding, beach erosion, and winds gusting up to 65+ mph at the beaches
• The main impact zone looks to be somewhere between Delmarva and the Jersey Shore.

• For inland areas expect heavy rain and wind from late Saturday through Monday
• There will be a sharp cutoff in this rainfall somewhere just west of the interstate 95 corridor
• Several inches are possible for immediate coastal areas

Here is my initial threat map:
