Gary Szatkowski, chief meteorologist for the NWS office in Mount Holly, said via social media late Wednesday that there is now a \u201csignificant\u201d chance of tropical storm force \u2013 39 m.p.h. plus \u2013 winds this weekend.<\/p>\n<p>The timeline is still up in the air, according to forecasters, though the latest data from the National Hurricane Center predicts the storm will be just off the coast of Atlantic City by 7 p.m. Sunday. Impacts to the Shore area are \u201csignificantly more likely\u201d with the latest tracking, which brings the storm farther west than it was previously forecasted.<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"ose-x ose-uid-d1e3bdc17d0469c48aa673f19d7aad21 ose-embedpress-responsive\" style=\"width:600px; height:550px; max-height:550px; max-width:100%; display:inline-block;\" data-embed-type=\"Twitter\"><div class=\"embed-x\"><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"600\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Now a significant probability of tropical storm force winds (39+ mph) in our region due to <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hashtag\/Hermine?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Hermine<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/LqPyguFRTY\">pic.twitter.com\/LqPyguFRTY<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Gary Szatkowski (@GarySzatkowski) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/GarySzatkowski\/status\/771095217923555329?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 31, 2016<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n<p>While forecasting models are coming into better agreement that a cold front will leave the area early, missing its chance to sweep Hermine out to sea, the track of the storm is still in question.
