SURFACE OBSERVATIONS SHOW WINDS IN THE 30 TO 35 KT RANGE OVER THE EASTERN SEMICIRCLE OF THE CIRCULATION...SO THE SYSTEM IS BEING MAINTAINED AS A TROPICAL STORM FOR THIS ADVISORY. CONTINUED WEAKENING IS EXPECTED AS HERMINE IS FORECAST TO MOVE FARTHER INLAND...AND ALL COASTAL TROPICAL STORM WARNINGS WILL LIKELY BE DISCONTINUED LATER TODAY. SURFACE AND RADAR DATA INDICATE THAT HERMINE HAS BEEN MOVING SLIGHTLY RIGHT OF THE PREVIOUS ESTIMATES...350/15. A GENERAL NORTH-NORTHWEST TO NORTHWARD MOTION IS EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS BRINGING HERMINE...OR ITS REMNANTS...WELL INLAND OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. THIS TRACK FORECAST IS SLIGHTLY TO THE EAST OF THE PREVIOUS ONE...TO ACCOUNT FOR THE INITIAL MOTION AND POSITION. THE PRIMARY HAZARD ASSOCIATED WITH HERMINE WILL BE HEAVY RAINFALL THAT IS EXPECTED TO SPREAD INTO THE SOUTH-CENTRAL PART OF THE UNITED STATES OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS.
