Henri has formed in the Atlantic with winds as of 5 PM of 40 MPH. This tropical storm is located northeast of the Virgin Islands, and is expected to move to the WNW at around 15 MPH. However, Henri is not expected to threaten any land, as the storm is expected to fall apart over the next couple days.
Local alerts: Wind advisory remains in effect until 10 PM tonight. There have been many reports of wires down, and even a couple of trees have fallen.
Local weather: It will be sunny and breezy for tomorrow with temps in the low 60's, then a strong cold front will approach from the west. This front will produce showers on Friday afternoon into friday night. It will clear out for Saturday and Sunday. Temps will be in the 60's on Saturday, and the upper 50's on Sunday. Then it gets complicated, so I will do my best to guide you through the forecast. A storm is forecasted from near the Delaware coast on Sunday, as a cold air drains in to New England at the same time. Then, the storm will track north and intenisfy rapidly as it comes close to the cape on Monday night. This is a classic winter nor'easter setup, however it is only October. At this early point, 2 things seem likely: some type of precipitation, and strong winds on Monday night and Tuesday. In this case, the exact track is very key. A track over SE Mass would bring all rain to most of Mass, and the snow would only fall over the northern mountains. Another senario, would bring cold winds and light precip. to eastern New Enlgand. That means a storm track well out to sea, where the storm would just graze us. In between is the most likely option. This potential nor'easter will need to be watched very closely for the potential of an early season snowfall over some parts of New England.
