News and Updates

• Tropical Storm Henri is forecast to strengthen into a hurricane as it heads north toward southern New England this weekend. Hurricane Watches and Storm Surge Watches are in effect on the south coast. 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.
• Tropical Storm Henri Is Expected to Strengthen and May Bring Rain, Wind, and Storm Surge Impacts to Parts of Northeast, August 20, 2021

• Henri is expected to be at or near hurricane strength when it makes landfall on Long Island or in southern New England Sunday. Dangerous storm surge inundation and hurricane conditions are likely in parts of Long Island, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and southeastern Massachusetts. Also, heavy rain may lead to considerable flooding in parts of Long Island, New England, eastern New York, and New Jersey.

• The remnants of Henri will move back across southern New England Monday, possibly resulting in renewed flooding from scattered showers and storms that will be accompanied by torrential downpours. Also, an isolated brief tornado can't be ruled out Monday.
