Henri storm path: How to track the potential hurricane threatening the Northeast in real time
A hurricane could make landfall in the Northeastern United States this weekend.
Tropical Storm Henri, which was building strength far off the coast of Florida as of Friday afternoon, is now forecast to possibly develop into a Category 1 hurricane. That’s not unusual in itself, but the storm’s path definitely is. According to the National Weather Service of Boston, current models show a wide range of potential targets, anywhere from New York City to Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and those models could change further still.
