NYC Rip Current Risk Still High from Hermine

Map from National Weather Service

Dangerous rip current conditions caused by Hermine still exist at area beaches, according to the National Weather Service:

...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK IN EFFECT FROM 6 AM EDT TUESDAY THROUGH
TUESDAY EVENING...
LOCATIONS...ATLANTIC BEACHES OF KINGS AND SOUTHERN QUEENS.

On Tuesday, there's a 20 percent chance of showers after 10am. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 83.

Hermine remains a "strong post-tropical cyclone" with high winds, says Dr. Jeff Masters at Wunderground.

The storm, which was 300 miles off the coast early on Monday, appears to be pushing back towards land. Winds "strong enough to knock out power and cause problems near the water will affect eastern Long Island and southeast New England," says Wunderground's Bryan Norcross. Even New Jersey's coast may feel some effects, he adds.

Norcross says Hermine's path was hard for forecasters to predict because it is a slowly moving, meandering storm.
