Tropical Storm Conditions Likely in Southern Westchester Sunday Night

A Tropical Storm Warning is still in effect for southern Westchester County due to Hermine.

While at 5 p.m. Saturday, it is no longer designated a tropical storm, AccuWeather.com’s Alex Sosnowski, senior meteorologist, said it will still have tropical storm strength and will act like a powerful, but slow-moving nor'easter.

Offshore winds are forecast to reach hurricane force from Saturday evening to Monday, he said.

"After departing the North Carolina coast, Hermine is expected to stall offshore of the Delmarva Peninsula and New Jersey on Sunday into at least Tuesday. The result will be adverse conditions for days regardless of its official classification of a tropical versus non-tropical storm," Sosnowski said.

The forecast according to the National Weather Service calls for possible tropical storm conditions for Westchester, Rockland and Putnam counties during the day Sunday.

For Sunday night, in southern Westchester, the forecast said that residents can expect tropical storm conditions.

As you go further north in Westchester, and into Rockland and Putnam, there is about a 40 percent chance of rain Sunday night, though it will be windy throughout the area.

Dutchess and Ulster counties will be spared for much of Sunday, though there is a chance of rain after 9 p.m.

The NWS Tropical Storm Warning, which is applicable at this point only to southern Westchester, Hurricane Local Statement and Hazardous Weather Outlook are all still in effect and can be read in our earlier forecast.
