general, very well defined system, but again, it is starting to lose little steam here, now that it moved on shore, definitely very heavy rain, and flooding concerns continue for the southeastern us, as they will very likely for our coastal communities down the road. so, as we continue to track, hurricane hermine, not just dealing with the rainfall, but obviously the winds that comes with that, as well. now, the wind field itself in terms of where the strongest of the winds will reside, moves out to sea here, very likely, by the time it at least is hugging our coast at its closest point, as it bypasses our area. however, we are very likely still seeing at least potential for tropical storm force wind out there, so you are talking in excess of 35 miles per hour, but notice the further inland you go, the later becomes. so, again, there is still a window that you may end up with certainly some nicer conditions as you head further inland. talking rain and the. so we new that florida was going to get slammed. but looks like the carolinas shall specially earn edges of

the state, not to mention our shore lines, get hit with decent rain, as well, and current indications through labor day as the storm starts to actually starts to stall well off shore, are that we end up with several inches on the order of two and a half plus worth of rainout of this. so, very quickly, we want to walk you through the impact, short list of bullet minutes, wind gusts 06 miles per hour at the coast, dealing with coastal flooding, beach errosion, not the best beach weekends unfortunately, things really have gone downhill in that regard. but, temperatures have also been the same, top off 70s, majority of the holiday weekend. >> a lot going on, katie, thank you so much. good morning, everyone, happy friday. burlington bristol bridge is back down now, also the construction on 95 northbound between allegheny and betsy ross bridge, two lanes block, now clear as well. and the vine, westbound side, now open, eastbound side should be opening soon. accident cleared here in bridgeport, great news for those every in you that area route 202, like i say, all
