On its current track, no significant rain is expected from Hermine although these storms can unpredictably shift to cause the area to experience a greater impact.

Northport Police warn of expected impacts:

High tides 2 – 4 feet above normal can be expected through the period. These amounts may increase by an additional 1 -2 feet as strong, persistent NE winds prevent the water from receding during the low tide phase.

If you live on the immediate shoreline or in an area prone to costal keep abreast of conditions.

Times of high tide:

• Sunday – 1:57pm
• Monday – 2:17am & 2:36pm
• Tuesday – 2:57am & 3:17pm
• Wednesday – 3:40am & 4:00pm

Do not approach on foot or drive through flood waters. Report any significant flooding in Northport Village to this department at (631)261-7500.

Strong NE winds sustained 25 – 35 MPH with gusts approaching 50 MPH. This may cause trees to fall and bring down power lines. Be aware of your surroundings and don’t approach any downed wires as they may be live. Call 911 and PSEG @ (800)490-0075.

Northport Police will provide further updates if necessary.
