Henri: Moderate-Major impacts NYC subforum this weekend, possibly into Monday August 21-23, 2021

While wind and surge will likely be confined to eastern LI, we could have a formidable flooding event for other parts of the area. Slow moving tropical systems are trouble, we just need to hone in to where the heaviest rains will set up.

dont think wind will be confined to eastern LI, I was looking at map projections and we have 30 mph sustained winds all the way to western nassau and 2-4 ft of surge too and thats with the current NHC track not on the western leaning models which seem to be where the majority of the guidance is now.

This isn't going to go extra tropical up here. The wind field is going to be very tight. 

We are now almost to a point where you have to consider blended model arc winds and add 15% for the gusts. All the west intense modeling with fully leaves trees is big damage.  Need  to see models ratchet down and further east.   Won’t be able to add much cogent comment for a few hours

Not entirely correct.  Wind will be more of a factor on eastern LI.  All coastal areas will be be at some degree of risk from storm surge impacts.  NWS is expecting up to a 2’ foot storm surge along the south shore of Nassau to 3’ out in the Hamptons.  This is why they have issued a storm surge watch.

This is just another example of how extreme the WAR has become. Tropical cyclones that pass within 200 miles of Bermuda usually go OTS. Henri is on track to become the first tropical cyclone to landfall west of Cape Cod. Hermine in 2004 and another weak system in 1923 were the only two storms to impact Cape Cod.

This still has a chance of landfalling in Central to Eastern LI

That’s why I said west of Cape Cod. Any landfall in Rhode Island or Long Island would be the first recorded event to pass within 200 miles of Bermuda. Numerous models are showing a potential landfall somewhere in Suffolk county.

What I find fascinating is that this storm will eventually tug west without a huge trough to our west .

15% for gusts is a good number, so for western Nassau County that would be 30 mph sustained with tropical storm force gusts and thats on the old NHC track which will likely need to be adjusted west.

Based on latest trends I would say odds of landfall in Long Island are higher than they are east of there.

hmmm I saw 2-4 ft for Nassau and 3-5 feet for Suffolk

and depends what you mean by winds, 30 mph winds sustained and tropical storm force gusts for Nassau are up there and thats on the old forecast track which will likely be adjusted west.

W-C LI is probably the furthest west this can get. Don’t see a direct NYC LF but even a landfall near ISP gets NYC proper into TS conditions but likely not much further west than that

Storm looks west of NHC track. LLC near 74W.

Landfall closer to NYC wouldn't surprise me. Storm slows down and loops on approach which means heavy flooding & coastal impacts. 

How severe will depend on how strong Henri gets. A Category 2+ at peak strength likely weakening to 80-85 mph Cat 1 is possible.

I agree. Should be an interesting next few model runs. Remember the Euro has been underestimating the the WAR. It didn’t start showing Fred going further to our west until practically nowcast time.
