i see it possible that they may go into full storm alert mode for Hermine because it could become a hurricane...i dont think they are going to wait for a cat 3 or greater because this is the first relatively strong tropical system to make a us landfall since ike in 08 (if it does still exist)
I wouldn't count on it, so don't get your hopes too high

I am still not comprehending the fuss over Storm Alert
TWC's tropical weather coverage has been great without Storm Alert.
