Tropical Storm Hermine is the unexpected guest that may end up ruining many New Yorkers’ plans this Labor Day Weekend.
Winds are expected to start increasing on Saturday as Hermine approaches the try state area with gusts over 40-mph. The storm is expected to linger offshore for several days, causing rough surf and dangerous conditions. As a result of dangerous riptides, all city beaches will be closed this Sunday.
“If you go in the water you are putting your life in danger,” said De Blasio. “It’s as simple as that.”
