hermine threatens to impact the holiday weekend. parkway worries. hermine could make for a messy made in america festival as the crews continue the concert setup around the art museum. breaking news, the latest track for hurricane hermine arrived moments allege. the storm making its way up the east coast after crashing into florida overnight. hermine is responsible for at least one death in that state. more than 107,000 customers without power in georgia tonight. north carolina's governor has made an emergency declaration for 33 counties. and now all eyes are on the changing track that will determine what we get here in our area. the holiday weekend has arrived, and nbc 10 is here to help you prepare. >> we have a team of meteorologists throughout the region to help keep you updated on this track. glenn and sheena are in the first alert weather center, ted greenberg and tim furlong are

along the coast in new jersey and delaware. we begin with sheena with a look at where hermine is right now. >> well, hermine is now moving into south carolina as a tropical storm. so if you were with us last night at 11:00 p.m., you would have seen hermine make landfall in florida as a category 1 hurricane. now it's quickly moved up to the north. winds sustained at 50 miles an hour. it's a tropical storm. but it is swinging a very large rain area to its north and northeast. now approaching parts of southern virginia, stretching through north carolina. this storm will continue to track to the northeast and eventually get closer to our area for your labor day weekend. if you look at the center of the storm, the rain area stretches over 360 miles away. so the rain for us will move in as early as tomorrow. now we'll go to heavier bands near myrtle beach, south carolina. some of of these heavier bands we have almost three inches of rain per hour. the good news is, the rain is moving quickly.

it's not just going to sit there. as the storm gets closer, it may be stationary for a moment offshore locally. that will be causing big problems. right another r now we're looking closer to the center. storm off the shores of south carolina. winds gusting to 50 to 60 miles an hour. wave heights up to 10 feet offshore. now they're increasing to 16 feet. as it gets closer to us, we'll see high wave heights and major flooding concern. in south carolina, the winds going counterclock-wise around this storm. so that indicates we do have that tropical storm right in the center near orangeberg, south carolina. winds gusting about 45 to 50 miles an hour inland. now we're looking closer to home. we are dry. just to our south, look how close the rain is now. it is just south of virginia, moving into virginia as we speak. and tomorrow it will be moving into parts of delaware. now we're going to get a little bit closer with storm ranger 10, our mobile radar. we have driven it towards

elizabeth city, and this is where we start to get a closer view of the leading edge of the rain. and that's where you also pick up heavier rain bands. we'll be utilizing storm ranger 10 throughout this storm. we'll be able to show you maybe areas that other stationary radars will miss it. the entire jersey shore has been extended around the delaware bay. that is something to note. and the delaware beaches, winds could be gusting near 60 miles an hour. major flooding concerns across part of the area, too. so the storm impacting us for the labor day holiday weekend. the newest track is just out. chief meteorologist glenn "hurricane" schwartz has that. glenn? >> yeah, sheena. unfortunately, the updated track is even closer to the jersey shore, delaware beaches than the previous tracks. and that just confirms our thinking that this is going to be a beyond serious event. this is a dangerous event that is taking place, unfortunately

during a holiday weekend. there's a nice picture at cape may. tomorrow will not be quite as nice. and then it really goes downhill after that. this is the latest track in from the national hurricane center. 50-mile-an-hour winds right now. it's moving 20 miles an hour. still 50 overnight, because the center is too close to water. some of the circulation is over the warm waters, and so it won't weaken. now, the question is, is it going to transition into a type of nor'easter. the only thing that will do is kind of change the structure. that would expand the wind field and the rain if it does turn into a nor'easter. but either way, it's not going anywhere. and the official track even now has it curving, maybe even taking loops, and that's a hurricane. monday, just off the coast. at least hurricane strength. that is not good.

because we have this onshore flow. it's about the wind speed. it's about the wind direction. it's about how much ocean is covered. we call it the fetch. all of that helps build up the waves. and the time of that. so you get days of it, and you're going to get some really serious flooding. so this is the latest track. of the rainfall. just barely into philadelphia, but perhaps by sunday night and monday, if the storm does get closer, it can bring some of that moisture back inland a little bit. of course, the shore's going to get hit the hardest. rain develops saturday afternoon. heavy at times on sunday, with moderate coastal flooding. and major coastal flooding on monday, as the rain lingers. more on the rest of the neighborhoods coming up. count on the nbc 10 app to track hermine throughout the weekend. get live radar, and weather

alerts for your neighborhood or your holiday destination. that app sa free download. our coverage continues with jersey shore bureau reporter ted greenberg live in longport. ted, what's the feeling there tonight? >> reporter: well, keith, folks are really trying to squeeze in as much beach time as possible before the weather really goes downhill. this storm could bring major beach erosion to the jersey coastline, and very serious flooding. public works crews have been busy getting beaches ready for whatever hermine throws at them. in brigantine, they spent hours today pulling up plastic walkways along the sand. walkways are found at beach access points. officials say they don't want them to be washed away if the ocean comes all the way to the back of the beach. another man lives along the bay in a flood-prone section. he was putting up a plastic mesh fence in front of his house. he's hoping the fence will keep sea grass from blowing all over

his property. authorities say now is the time for people here at the shore to get ready for the storm. >> they should be preparing for the worst. they should be securing all their outdoor belongings, making sure they have everything that they need in case an evacuation order is given. >> reporter: officials tell me dealing with a major storm like this over labor day weekend is far more complicated than, say, a winter nor'easter, because so many people are here now. live in longport, i'm ted greenberg, nbc 10 news. >> ted, thank you so much. to the skies now. george spencer is giving us a bird's-eye view of the holiday weekend. >> george, where are you right now? >> reporter: we are just across the delaware river from philadelphia. take a look, we're right at the spot where 676-76 and the 42 freeway all merge together. even with hermine looming for the holiday weekend, it looks like a lot of people are getting out of the city right now.

this is, after all, considered one of the unofficial last weekends of summer. and it seems people are eager for a piece of that summer weather. in this spot we happened to notice the heavy traffic impacting some people's drive. about five cars right there along the shoulder appear to be involved in a minor chain reaction rear-ender. it doesn't look like there's any injuries, but it speaks to the volume of traffic, people heading out of the city over the next hour. we'll be flying near the shore and let you know of any other issues. george spencer, nbc 10 news. now to decision 2016. where donald trump visits philadelphia today, creating at least one clash between a man protesting the campaign stop and the lone trump supporter who showed up. a man holding a democrat for trump sign was hit over the head

with a poster board. jerry said he had every right to be at the protest. trump met african-american leaders from the community in a closed-door meeting. he also met with the mother of a murder victim. trump tells nbc 10 the meeting went well. and that they discussed problems in the community that he says he could fix. nbc 10's lauren mayk spoke to donald trump while he was here. >> she had a one-on-one interview with the candidate. lauren, what did he have to tell you? >> reporter: keith and jacqueline, we talked about a number of things, including immigration, sanctuary cities and his outreach to african-americans. now, that was part of his visit here today. and as he has talked about that, he talks sometimes about neighborhoods, saying that you walk down the street, you get shot. so i asked him about what he plans to do to make a difference. what's your plan to deal with gun violence? >> you have to have strong police. you have to have strong community support.

if you don't have the support, the police together working together -- >> what about the guns on the street? >> you have to take them away from criminals. they know who they are. you have criminals carrying guns. and they're carrying things like bombs and carrying everything else you can carry. and you have to know who those people are. and the police know who they are. the police have -- the police know so well who they are. >> what are they not doing that they -- >> they have to, number one, they have to be stronger in terms of getting the bad ones off the street. you have people on the street, and frankly, i think what you do is you have a situation where you have a known criminal, an offender who's got a weapon of some kind, you've got to take it away. they did it in new york. and they did it under stop and frisk. they did it under rudy giuliani. and stop and frisk is a very positive thing. they stopped them in new york, and the numbers are starting to go up again.

>> reporter: rudy giuliani, of course, has been an adviser to donald trump, has been a big supporter of his. now, donald trump also taking a shot at philadelphia. while i talked to him today, saying that the mayor here was doing a terrible job. we're going to have more from my one-on-one interview with him coming up at 6:00. keith and jacqueline, back to you. >> lauren, thank you. the holiday weekend hinges on hermine. we're tracking this storm as it makes its way up the east coast. meteorologist sheena parveen is putting the final touches on her forecast. she'll break down the storm's expected impact. the storm cut through florida. video just in from georgia. we're headed there next for a live look at the lashing that state is taking right now. as a result of hermine. storm ranger 10 is on the move. it is our new high-tech radar on

wheels. it is in south carolina, that's where storm ranger 10 is tonight. it's down south to better track hermine to keep you up to date on what's coming up weather-wise this holiday weekend.

david was proud to be an american soldier. and i know i'm prejudiced because he was my son, but i don't think he had a mean bone in his body. there is not a day that i don't think about david. when i saw donald trump attack another gold star mother, i felt such a sense of outrage. "she was standing there, she had nothing to say..." if donald trump cannot respect a gold star family, then why would anyone in america think he would respect them. votevets is responsible for the content of this advertising.

it is a tropical storm right now. it made landfall last night in florida as a category 1 hurricane. winds are down to 50 miles an hour. it is moving a little bit quicker now, northeast at 20 miles an hour. it is in south carolina. so it has picked up quite a bit of speed. as we go through the next couple of days, it will continue to move up into our area, just offshore. and that's going to cause some major flooding concerns. this is the most up-to-date track just released from the national hurricane center. so now we're looking at sunday afternoon, monday afternoon, and even tuesday. now, it's going to be just to our south as we go into tomorrow afternoon. we'll start to see rain increasing for south jersey and delaware, conditions starting to deteriorate later in the day tomorrow. especially sunday and monday when it's offshore, the reason why the track starts to look a little funny as we go through the weekend is because a lot of models are picking up on this

storm system stalling. essentially there's nothing to keep it moving, so it may just be lingering offshore, which is bad for us, and coastal communities, because that just means a persistent onshore wind. and we know when water starts moving, there's really nothing to stop it. so we do expect flooding along the shore, possibly the delaware bay. that could lead into the delaware river. i'll talk about that in just a second. closer look at the radar image. it's spinning close to charleston, south carolina, now. the center is just about over land. but it's still getting fueled by some of that atlantic moisture now. heavy rain bands just to the north. now approaching parts of virginia, southern virginia. so it's already in north carolina, locally we're dry. but there you see the rain from hermine getting ever so closely. it the continue tonight. this is storm ranger 10, our mobile radar, the only radar on wheels. we drove it to the south. elizabeth city is where it is. that shows you the heaviest rain band. the edge of this storm, the

northern edge of the rain. and it's going to continue to move into parts of virginia. so that's what we're looking at here. it's going to keep going north and eventually move into delaware and south jersey as we go into your saturday. tropical storm warning, the entire jersey shore, something to note here, it's been extended, and includes the delaware bay. so tropical storm conditions are likely. winds near 40 to 50 miles an hour sustained. that's a constant wind. we could see gusts as high as about 60 miles an hour. a lot of this will be onshore winds for the area, too. saturday afternoon, rain and wind. delaware beaches and the new jersey shore mainly. by sunday, heavy rain, high wind for delaware and new jersey mainly. some of the rain could be moving into the philadelphia area. that very closely depends on where the center of the storm is. a small shift to the east could make a huge difference on who sees the cutoff of heavy rain. monday we'll continue to see

wind and rain, depending how far away the storm tries to move. drier the farther inland you go. in the inland valley and poconos, you could have a lower chance of rain. from saturday through sunday and monday. atlantic city and rehoboth beach, if you're in between these areas, your high time will fall in between. if you're familiar with how tides work, these are the high tide cycles. 9:30 in the morning saturday is when it starts. 12 hours later we get the next high tide. sunday, that gets pushed back closer to 10:00 a.m. monday, closer to 11:00 a.m. for the first high tide time. the next one will fall 12 hours later. those are the times we're going to be watching. now, the flood threat, the minor tidal flooding will be starting late saturday, getting worse sunday and monday. now, if you're in the back bays of the jersey shore or any of our delaware beaches, any back bays will be the worst. the flooding, it will be hard

for the flooding to recede during low tide. so that's something we really have to watch. and the delaware bay and the delaware river, tidal flooding is possible saturday, sunday and monday. so again, we're going to be watching this system very closely. here is the most up-to-date track on it. i'm going to show you this one. this is one model that we're looking at for rainfall. there you see it saturday, sunday. sunday afternoon. just offshore. again, the center of this will determine a lot, because if it's just a little bit farther to the east, we could see the heaviest rain just in new jersey and delaware. if it's a little bit closer to us, the heavier rains could extend inland. either way, flooding is going to be the main concern. >> and today's a great day at the shore. tomorrow might be okay. but after that -- >> tomorrow's going to be deteriorating slowly through the afternoon. it's definitely going to be the best day out of the weekend from what it looks like. >> coastal flooding. big concern. >> coastal flooding if you're in the back bay. that's going to be the worst. >> okay. sheena, thank you so much.

take a look now at the video that we received out of georgia. savannah, roads are closed because of falling debris. homes suffered storm damage, strong winds also produced high waves on the island. the storm has weakened. but it's still packing a punch. jay gray is live in savannah, georgia. always great to see you, jay. what is the situation like right now? coming down pretty heavily? >> reporter: yeah, jacqueline, now it's the back side of the storm moving through the area. we're getting more intense rain. we're seeing strong wind gusts as it clears georgia now and takes aim at the east coast. the initial strike was violent. driving rains, and sustained winds of 80 miles an hour, gusts even stronger. hermine the first hurricane to make landfall in more than a decade, tearing apart the big ben region. >> more than 253 floridians

experienced power loss. >> reporter: the storm surge, as much as 9 feet in some areas, pushed water in places it's not supposed to go, including homes along the shoreline. >> as the day progresses, the water will continue to rise. >> reporter: inland, hermine lost a bit of its power but very little of its punch. a tropical storm as it pushed into georgia. showing signs that it would continue to be a problem. >> there's probably 20 streets that are closed right now because of the rain at high tide. >> reporter: trees and power lines are down here as well. as the system picked up speed moving into the carolinas, where there's a growing concern about tornadoes, and the damage hermine could inflict as it moves up the coast. >> we want this thing to move in and out as quick as possible. >> reporter: the forecast shows it will continue to move up the eastern seaboard. the sun and beachgoers out in new jersey right now. but these sandbags a warning of what could be on the way.

you know, hermine likely to affect millions in its path through early next week. this is a storm that just won't quit. that is the latest live from here in savannah, i'm jay gray, nbc 10 news. >> jay, thank you. as the crowds converge on the coast, music fans are filing into center city, philadelphia. the made in america festival gets under way tomorrow. the threat of rain is hanging over the show. we are live with a look at how organizers are preparing for what could be a wet party.

this year, pennsylvanians have a clear choice. senate majority pac is responsible for the content of this advertising. we are tracking hermine as it moves north this labor day weekend. the latest track is in tonight. meteorologist sheena parveen will break down what it could mean for us, just ahead in her first alert forecast. two weeks after samsung released its flagship cell phone, it is stopping any further sales. the move comes after several reports that the batteries in the galaxy note 7 exploded or caught fire while charging. there have been 35 reports so far. samsung is offering an exchange program. but it will take about two weeks to get a replacement. hermine is making its way up the east coast and threatening to impact our area for the holiday weekend. >> everyone wants to know what the weather's going to be like,

when it will be rainy and windy and if there are any good beach days, or is today the best day. nbc 10 is here to help you with team weather coverage. >> today's definitely one of the best days. we expect conditions to deteriorate across the weekend. this is tropical storm hermine. heading in our direction. the main concern is flooding across your weekend. tropical storm warnings have already been issued. i'll show you who can expect that, coming up next.

nbc 10 first alert radar is tracking hermine, the storm is threatening your labor day weekend as it makes its way up the east coast. we'll tell you how hermine will affect your plans. >> hermine has also wreaked havoc in the southeast. look at the storm damage in cedar key, florida, located in the gulf of mexico. at least one death has been reported in florida. hundreds of thousands of people in that state and georgia have lost power. >> the jersey shore is bracing for hermine. here's a live look at cape may, where the nice weather is not expected to last this weekend. >> the holiday weekend is here. nbc 10 is preparing you for what's to come. >> we have a team of meteorologists throughout our region. glenn and sheena are in the first alert weather center. tim furlong is in delaware, and

george spencer is watching things from the air. sheena has a look at where hermine is right now. >> hermine has in fact picked up a little bit of speed. it's moving along south carolina at 20 miles an hour. sustained winds near the center 50 miles an hour. last night made landfall right near the tallahassee area at 11:00 p.m. as a cat 1. now it's downgraded to a tropical storm. lots of rain, still a lot of wind. rain extending into southern parts of virginia, moving into virginia, which is just to our south, the first band of rainfall here. it's about 360, maybe almost 400 miles from the center. so that is one large area of rain. so we'll start to see it move into part of the area tomorrow later in the day. conditions will start to deteriorate across the entire weekend. here's ooh look at the rainfall rates. almost 3 inches an hour. good news is, this rain isn't sitting in one area for an hour. the main flooding concern will be coming from the onshore wind during high tide for us. take a look at the buoy data off

the shore of south carolina. closer to the center, winds gusting near 60 miles an hour in some spots. wave heights up to about 18 feet, a little bit offshore. not very far offshore. you can see how much it's stirring up the waves there. now near orangeburg, around the center, winds gusting near 45 miles an hour. another look at south carolina, winds on land. locally, the center of the storm will be offshore. the gustiest winds for us will be at the jersey shore and delaware beaches. the rain, there you see it just to our south. right now we're dry. but as we zoom in here, here's what storm ranger 10 is showing you. the only radar you'll see on wheels. the only radar we can actually move around. it has picked up the very first heavy band of rain, or at least on the northern leading edge of this storm right around elizabeth city. that's where we drove the truck to, that's where it's parked. and we'll continue utilizing this as we go throughout the storm and your labor day weekend. tropical storm warning for us, for all of the jersey shore, all

of the delaware beaches, up into the delaware bay, and that is where we have another concern for some tidal flooding. the delaware bay, possibly the delaware river. we'll be watching that very closely over the weekend. tropical storm conditions could give us winds gusting near 60 miles an hour. the storm has the most updated track as well. also how it will be affecting your holiday weekend. chief meteorologist glenn "hurricane" schwartz standing by with a look at that. >> sheena, this is absolutely the worst timing that you could possibly get. and this is an unusual track for a storm. so a lot of people may not be taking this seriously enough. here's a nice picture at the shore right now. we have some of those clouds that are starting to move in. and yes, those clouds are from hermine. hundred treads as and hundreds away. 50-mile-an-hour winds.

and the track just within the past hour is updated, very close to the coast. so enough of the circulation is offshore to keep this strong tropical storm. as it goes out into the warm ocean, the gulf stream waters, in some cases over 80 degrees, it could strengthen, even into a hurricane. or a strong nor'easter. either way, it's not moving much, from sunday, into monday. that's hardly moving at all. maybe a little bit of a loop, a circle it could make, getting closer to our beaches. and that is trouble. here we are 75 miles an hour, 2:00 p.m. monday. that's hurricane strength. this is what happens. this is part of the problem. we've got hundreds and hundreds of miles of onshore wind coming into delaware, coming into south jersey. depending on where this thing

stalls. and we have to get the wind coming out of the northwest to get -- to allow the water to go down. and it can't. as the storm gets closer to us, the winds increase out of the northeast. so we're not going to be out of this flood threat at the shore for days. into the middle of next week. here's the precipitation along with the track. and you can see a little bit of light rain perhaps up toward philadelphia by saturday night. but there's going to be a tremendous gradient from heavy rain at the shore to nothing in reading, for example, at the same time. right across the area. that's why we do neighborhood weather. minor coastal flooding saturday as the rain develops in the afternoon, moderate coastal flooding sunday. i'm afraid there's going to be major coastal flooding by labor day itself. >> glenn, thank you so much. count on the nbc 10 app to

track hermine this weekend. you can get live radar, the latest forecasts, and weather alerts for your neighborhood or your holiday destination. the app is a free download. our coverage continues as delaware bureau reporter tim furlong live in dewey beach. >> reporter: yeah, guys, dewey beach pretty laid-back place. the state of delaware and towns here in sussex county in particular, at this point they're starting to prepare for what's coming. you can see the water getting choppy. the flags are blowing harder. >> this has been one of the storms where the forecast has been changing quite a bit. i've got a lot of confidence in our emergency management team. >> reporter: this motel in rehoboth beach said they had a couple of guests cancel their trip because of the weekend forecast. the managers say some other people snatched those rooms up, though. thinking a romantic weekend isn't a bad idea.

>> a bad day at the beach is a better day than anywhere else. >> reporter: wind and rain is a business killer. they're watching the forecast closely. so is the beach patrol, watching the skies and ocean right now. they will change their flags with the weather throughout the weekend. >> if it gets to the point we can't control the situation, then we'll shut it down and just allow people to watch but not go in the water. >> reporter: deldot is checking the roads and storm drains. if needed, they can get equipment into place pretty quickly. they're talking about the state park campground. they're not telling people you can't be there, but saying maybe you want to reconsider coming down. you can get a refund if you try to break your reservation. they won't hold it against you. at this point it's going to be windy. if you have anything in a campground, that should be tied down, make sure you do it tomorrow morning. because it's going to get windy.

anything that you don't have tied down could end up in the ocean. tim furlong, nbc 10 news. >> let's go to the skies right now. george spencer is giving us a bird's-eye view. >> george, where are you now? >> reporter: keith, over the expressway. for anyone comfortable riding out hermine at the shore, not a bad afternoon to get down there. this traffic a bit of a line, what you would expect to get onto the parkway. really, traffic has not been a problem on our entire flight on this -- over this expressway. out of philadelphia, really, it's been easy from the a.c. expressway split off the 42 freeway. we've had the service plaza, no real problems. just this line of cars as you would expect to exit onto the parkway. for anyone headed down to the shore for this holiday weekend, once you get past the jersey suburbs, really, it has been a mostly easy ride. that is the latest in sky force 10, george spencer, nbc 10 news.

>> involved with mr. trump in a meeting. we talked about how to bring more jobs back into america. i believe he can be able to do that. he's got a background in business. he's not a politician, just as i'm not. >> i'm not undecided who i'm going to vote for. no, i'm not undecided. >> reporter: diane smith witnessed today's trump backlash. still, she wanted to catch a picture or glimpse of him. >> i do not hate him. hate is not in my heart. >> reporter: she said bottom line, philadelphia needs more jobs, better schools and less crime, something she says current leaders have yet to achieve. cydney long, nbc 10 news. now, your nbc 10 first alert weather. well, hermine is the big story. the tropical storm now moving through south carolina. it was downgraded after it made landfall last night as a category 1 hurricane in florida. it's moving to the northeast at 20 miles an hour. it's picked up speed here.

we expect it to slow down quite a bit which will be causing big problems. winds sustained 50 miles an hour near the center of the storm. and the rain is mostly to the north and northeast. now, the track is going to take it closer to us as we go into the weekend. so saturday afternoon, just off the coast of southern virginia, possibly the tropical storm still. pretty strong winds still as we go to sunday, monday, tuesday. look at that, in the span of about four days, there's not too much movement here. so it could be stalling, kind of meandering around until something finally steers it away. so at that point, over the weekend, it could be sitting just offshore which will be giving us a strong onshore wind which is not good for coastal communities. we have a big threat of flooding for the shore, the delaware bay, possibly the delaware river. i think the worst will be the back bay. tropical storm conditions likely with a tropical storm warning for the jersey shore. the delaware beaches, extending

into the delaware bay. we'll have to watch the delaware river as well. winds gusting 60 miles an hour, could be sustained 40 to 50 miles an hour. now we're looking down at elizabeth city, north carolina. this is storm ranger 10. this is our mobile radar, radar on wheels. this is the only place you're going to find that. so we have driven it from the philadelphia area down to north carolina, because we wanted to see the leading edge of the rain, and that is going to be moving into virginia here very soon. that's where you see the yellow right around elizabeth city. that's showing us some of the heaviest rain right on the northern edge of the rain from tropical storm hermine. so now we're taking a wider view out. we are dry most of tomorrow, could stay dry depending where you live. then the rain will start to move to the north. and parts of the area will be seeing rain moving in through the afternoon tomorrow. but it is just to our south moving into virginia. there you see it all spinning, some of the heaviest bands now moving into parts of north carolina. but the bands are moving quickly. the flooding that we're talking about is not necessarily from

the rain. it's going to be from high tide with an onshore wind. here's what you can expect as far as our weekend changes because of hermine. saturday afternoon rain and wind mostly for the delaware beaches and the jersey shore. those are going to be the areas hit hardest with this. by sunday, heavy rain and high wind mostly delaware and new jersey. and some rain possible through the philadelphia area. but that's going to depend on where the center of the storm is. if it shifts closer to land just a bit, we'll have a better chance of rain through the philadelphia area. if it shifts offshore just a little bit, we could certainly see drier conditions, because the cutoff would be closer to the shore with the heavier rain. by monday, rain and high wind in new jersey and delaware, still possible. especially with stalls offshore like it looks like it should do. but drier as you go farther inland. tidal flooding is going to be the biggest concern if you're along the shore or anywhere in the delaware bay. the back bays especially. pay very close attention to these times. minor flooding could start as early as saturday evening.

then we go into sunday and monday. high tide every 12 hours, so the first one sunday 10:00 a.m., next one 12 hours later. atlantic city, rehoboth beach, in between, closer to 11:00 in the morning monday. then every 12 hours after that the high tide. sunday and monday so far it looks like the two main days we'll be watching for the highest threat for possibly moderate to major flooding. minor tidal flooding starting saturday, getting worse sunday and monday. main concern in the back bay is because the flooding may not be able to recede in the back bay. it's like a bathtub there. the delaware river and the delaware bay flooding also possible. tidal flooding saturday, sunday and monday. we'll be watching that very closely. here's a look at the futurecast here. the cutoff with the heavy rain. if this storm moves a little bit farther offshore, then it will take the heavy rain with it. if it stays a little bit closer to land, the heavier rain will

be farther inland. eventually starting to move away as we go just past labor day. here's your labor day weekend forecast. gusty winds especially delaware and new jersey saturday and sunday. we had to lower the temperatures because of the onshore winds. your weekend across the board, specially if you're closer to the shore, and beaches in delaware, and the delaware bay, this is the time where we expect things to get worse as we go across the weekend. windier conditions, under the tropical storm warning. expect tropical storm conditions. we don't expect this thing to move over us right now, we expect it to stay offshore, but that onshore wind not going to be good. >> timing question right now, a lot of people on facebook have been asking me, will it be clear tomorrow? >> yes. today, nice beach day. today's beautiful. just to our south. tomorrow we'll slowly see conditions deteriorating. we'll see more clouds starting to move in. delaware, south jersey, you have the best chance of rain moving in tomorrow. mostly in the afternoon. so it's going to get windier, too, and then sunday, monday,

those are going to be the worst days there. yes, conditions deteriorating across the weekend. not good for this weekend. >> no. today is a good day if you have to be at the shore. >> you're lucky today. >> sheena, thank you. collingswood, historic labor day observance. a ceremony with annual southern new jersey afl-cio central labor council. after a wreath was laid at the peter mcguire memorial. back to the storm from the shore, to the city, hermine is expected to impact labor day weekend events throughout the region. >> philadelphia's playing host to a major holiday party. >> last-minute preps here at made in america. thousands will be descending on the parkway. next, our storm is going to crash the party.
