Tropical Storm Henri—expected to become a hurricane by Saturday—will move northward and could make landfall on Long Island or in southern New England by Sunday.
Henri poses a significant threat to the northern Atlantic region due to the potential for flooding rain, damaging winds, heavy surf, and a coastal storm surge.
Meanwhile, a cold front crossing the nation’s mid-section will remain the focus for showers and thunderstorms. Additional rainfall across the northern Plains and upper Midwest could total 1 to 3 inches or more, starting the process of slow recovery from a protracted drought.
