Hurricane Henri is threatening to bring heavy rainfall and floods to a huge portion of the Northeast. This is the most severe hurricane threat in New England in the past 30 years. And it is expected to continue until at least Monday.
The storm has already caused deluges, with over seven inches of rain in some areas. Officials warn of potential widespread flooding and spot flooding in inland areas. Some coastal roads are expected to be nearly impossible to drive on.
As the storm moved inland, it was expected to weaken, though it will still produce strong gust winds and a storm surge. Tropical Force Winds are still expected to extend about 125 miles from the center.
Hurricane Henri’s center is expected to pass off the coast of New York and Long Island around 1:00 pm Sunday. It is then expected to move into the Atlantic Ocean.
Hurricane Henri is expected to slow down and stall near the Connecticut-New York border
Hurricane Henri has begun to weaken and move more slowly eastward. It is expected to stall and turn back towards the New York and Connecticut borders tonight and move eastward across northern Connecticut and southern Massachusetts on Monday. This will likely bring heavy rainfall to areas along the coast of New England.
The hurricane is expected to make landfall early on Sunday or late Sunday morning or afternoon, with coastal portions of southern New England at the greatest risk.
As the storm moves inland, it will degenerate into a post-tropical cyclone later on Monday.
While the storm has weakened, it is still packing winds of 60 mph and has the potential to produce torrential rain. Parts of the tri-state region are under a flash flood warning.
There are also storm surge warnings in effect for parts of the Hudson Valley and parts of northern New Jersey.
Hurricane Henri is expected to strengthen into a Category 1 hurricane
Hurricane Henri is expected to hit New England on Sunday. This could be a major weather event for New England, especially because of the large amount of rain that is expected. In addition, flooding is also a possibility.
