Hurricane HENRI is moving very close across Long Island and is set to make landfall in southern New England on Sunday 19 UTC between New London and New Bedford. Precipitation
of up to 150mm possible as well as storm surge of up to 1.5m.
With an unusual trajectory starting roughly 500 km northwards of the Bermuda Islands, circulating around them clockwise and then turning northwards towards southern New England,
HENRI has reached Hurricane-strength on August 21 at 15 UTC. The system has never been south of 29°N and reached its Hurricane-status above the 35°N latitude circle. HENRI is already
showing signs of starting extratoprical transition (significant asymmetry), but the system will still strengthen to an upper Category Hurricane with mean wind speeds of up to 140 kph
and gusts up to 165 kph before landfall.
