The latest National Hurricane Center models show a westward shift for the storm, and Henri is expected to make landfall near eastern Long Island Sunday afternoon. Then it should weaken rapidly as it heads into Connecticut on Sunday evening before slowly exiting the region Monday. The main hazards include damaging winds, flooding rain, and storm surge flooding.

Heavy rainfall may lead to flash flooding, damaging winds, and storm surge, although the arrival of the storm near lower tide may help mitigate impact, the weather service said. Flood watches were issued for central parts of the state, and in all of Western Massachusetts. Excessive runoff from heavy rainfall may cause flash flooding in areas with small creeks ad streams, urban areas, and low lying spots. Forecasters predict between 3 to 6 inches of rain in these areas, with high amounts possible.

The storm should clear out of the area by sometime late Monday night, forecasters said.
The National Weather Service encourages people to start preparing for a possible hurricane by having extra cash on hand, filling up vehicles with gas, and buying non-perishable food in case power is lost.
