A watch means conditions are possible. There remains a great deal of uncertainty with regard to Henri's track which will have a huge impact on who in the northeast sees the strong winds, heavy rain, and storm surge.

Currently, Henri is expected to make landfall on Sunday morning, August 22, 2021.

Damaging winds, flooding rains, and storm surges are all possible. Residents are strongly urged to shelter in place during the storm and to stay off roadways.
