Hurricane watches in effect for coastal New England as Tropical Storm #Henri is poised to strengthen and charge toward the zone between Long Island and Cape Cod: wapo.st/3zh5Imo Several reasons for concern ... (1/x)
Coastal flooding could be exarcebated due to 1) storm's slow forward motion 2) full moon (causing higher than normal tides) 3) landfall possible near high tide Sunday evening (though timing could shift) Surge could bring 3 to 5 ft of coastal inundation (2/x) 
Inland flooding from heavy rain could be exacerbated due to 1) storm's slow speed or even a stall as it moves inland 2) very heavy rain in recent weeks which have saturated soils. Boston has seen 14.4" since Jul 1. This @NHC_Atlantic rain forecast could be conservative. (3/x)
(ugh, spelling ^^^ should be exacerbated)
Here's the GFS model simulation #Henri as it comes up coast and makes landfall. We'll have more updates through the weekend. (4/4)
