heaviest rains are 100 miles to the west with TC at our latitude, most of us care about rain not wind and surge.  East of storm is usually boring with paltry rainfall totals

 

East is where most of the action is with landfalling tropical systems in the northeast minus the heaviest rain totals.

Latest discussion from the NHC indicates that Henri makes it’s closest approach to the region Sunday morning.  It is projected to have winds of 85 mph with an expanding wind field.  This aligns with a high tide in sync with a full moon.  This is a recipe for significant coastal flooding.

I think this could lead to pockets of moderate coastal flooding (assuming it heads N-NNE towards the Cape). The closer the track the worse it will be.  The wind field will be expanding but it's not a very large storm.  I definitely see your point though.

Not til after the euro runs…if the euro agrees then it’s game on. 
edir…New England Mets note  ukie initialized too strong 

hmmm if this storms hits eastern NE it will likely only be a TS when it gets into the much colder waters up there.  It's only chance of making a landfall as a hurricane is in the tristate area

The 12z UKMET is really tucked in with Henri. But we’’ll have to wait for the higher res maps in a little while. These charts are early but low res.

https://www.meteociel.fr/modeles/ukmo2.php?carte=1021&ech=72&nh=1&archive=0

so basically what I heard Dr Postel say is that if the storm is stronger it will be further west and if it's weaker it'll hit the cape.

The choice according to the maps posted is either out to sea, a 65 mph TS hitting the Cape or (the extreme scenario) an 85 mph H hitting the tristate

you're right of course but a caveat in this case is the much cooler waters east of here, if it makes landfall on the Cape it looks like it will only be a TS at LF

I wonder how much rain for us on that track.  Also do you think the storm will be really destructive for the Cape even if it makes landfall only as a TS (65 mph) there?  Weren't Bertha and Floyd both 65 mph TS when they made landfall on Long Island?  Didn't see much destruction there.

That's not true.

Could easily still make landfall anywhere between Montauk and Nantucket as a hurricane.

All options are still on the table.

Would say about East Hampton is furthest west possible landfall at this stage.  Given this will be more or a true tropical than Sandy there probably won’t be a ton of wind west of the center so you’d have to be near or east of it for strongest winds

The remnants of Fred moved away from the region. Earlier today, Worcester picked up 3.05" rainfall in five hours. It also recorded back-to-back hours with 1.00" or more rain for just the 3rd time on record and its 8th highest hourly rainfall figure of 1.44". In the Middle Atlantic region, temperatures rose into the lower 90s in Baltimore, Newark, Philadelphia, and Washington, DC.

Tomorrow will be partly sunny and very warm. Temperatures will likely climb into the middle and upper 80s across the region.

During the weekend, the track of Henri will have potential impacts on the weather, especially for Sunday into Monday. At present, a track that takes Henri toward landfall in eastern New England or off the New England shore remains the most likely outcome. That should bring high surf, rip tides, showers and possibly some periods of rain to eastern parts of the Middle Atlantic region, especially the eastern half of Long Island.

The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +0.1°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was -0.4°C for the week centered around August 11. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +0.45°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.28°C. Neutral ENSO conditions will likely prevail into mid-September.

The SOI was +8.92 today.

The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) figure was +0.704 today.

On August 17 the MJO was in Phase 2 at an amplitude of 2.344 (RMM). The August 16-adjusted amplitude was 2.676 (RMM).

Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied 68% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal August (1991-2020 normal). August will likely finish with a mean temperature near 76.7° (0.7° above normal).
