In this case, the biggest impact locally in New Hampshire and Maine may include heavy rain and tropical storm force winds. If the storm first makes landfall in Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts, it could slow down and weaken substantially as it moves northeast, over or just off shore of the Seacoast of New Hampshire and southern Maine. "Things can change depending on the speed of the system, and if it slows down or speeds up."įocused on a hurricane's wind speeds?: Here's other hazards you should know about. "The impact will really depend on the strength of the system once it gets up here and also where the path tracks," Tubbs said. What will Henri's impact be for New Hampshire Seacoast and southern Maine if it tracks back east? On its current path, Henri's impacts will be felt as early as Sunday and last through Monday. That would be where we'd see the most impacts." "The worst-case scenario is that it stays over the water, takes a little bit more of an eastern track towards like Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket or Rhode Island, strengthens and then kind of just rides up the coast. "The best-case scenario would be Henri either stays out at sea, which unfortunately doesn't look very likely at this point, or it goes far enough left where it interacts with enough land so by the time it gets here it's very weak," Tubbs said. Other models predict it will make landfall in eastern Massachusetts or Rhode Island as a stronger storm that weakens quickly. Tubbs said NWS meteorologists are watching Henri's path closely, as some models predict Henri will go as far west as Long Island, New York, and rapidly weaken before it gets to northern New England. Where will Henri go: Best- and worst-case scenarios
Tubbs said that should the storm reach New England as a hurricane, it would be the first since Hurricane Bob in 1991.

What to do: How to prepare for a hurricane, from well in advance to just before a storm's arrival "I will stress that there is always the potential for it to shift back east again and make more of a direct impact to eastern and southeastern New England." "If it stays westward then we would expect less of a wave of impact for our area," Tubbs said.
