The Northeast will see impacts from Tropical Storm Henri, perhaps even a landfall, computer forecast models suggest. But if landfall were truly to happen, it wouldn't be until Sunday into Monday, and a lot can change in that time period.
"The biggest point here is that it's still too soon to know exactly how close Henri's center will get to the coast of New England," the National Hurricane Center says.Even if Henri stays offshore, swells from the storm could cause life-threatening high surf and rip currents. However, the official NHC forecast does have landfall as a possibility for New England, from Connecticut up through Maine.
High tide timing is important because the moon phase tides will already be higher than normal, so any storm surge on top of that could trigger enhanced coastal flooding. "Track will ultimately tell us which coastline is most at risk or if both will be in play," the Boston NWS said.The onset of tropical-storm-force winds for coastal Massachusetts is expected Sunday morning, so the NWS urges that all preparations must be done by that point.Even though the models may vary on what the exact impacts will be from Henri, it is always better to be prepared in case the storms hits.
— National Hurricane Center August 19, 2021 Extra weather balloon launches are expected to take place along much of the East Coast. These additional launches supply extra insight into what the atmosphere may be doing to influence Henri's forecast track."The hurricane hunter planes sampling the atmosphere around the storm will likely play a bigger role than the extra launches in gaining accuracy and confidence in the upcoming model output," says Chad Myers, CNN Meteorologist.
