Tens of millions of Americans woke up on the US East Coast Thursday to the aftermath of destruction left behind by remnants of Hurricane Ida. Now meteorologists are turning their attention to a hurricane in the Atlantic Basin that could be upgraded to a major hurricane (Category 3 or stronger) by this weekend.
According to the National Hurricane Center (NHC), hurricane larry is packing 80 mph winds and strengthening as it travels west at 17 mph. The eye of the storm is about 660 miles west of the southernmost Cabo Verde Islands.
NHC’s cone of uncertainty is tracking near Bermuda early next week. It’s still too early for the weather agency to project any further than next Tuesday, and landfall impacts are unknown at the moment. But as we move into the weekend, computer models will have a better idea of where the storm is headed next.
If the storm tracks towards the East Coast and or the Northeast, it would be absolutely devastating for some areas that were terrorized by remnants of Hurricane Ida on Wednesday night.
Statistically speaking, we should remind readers that the most active part of the Atlantic hurricane season is already underway, as the tropics are awakening. The peak of the season is Sept. 15.
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration forecasters recently bumped up their forecast to 21 named storms this season.
Looks like it’s heading directly toward Obama’s shack.
The guy who got his arm bit of by a gator was a covid death.
Someone should be yelling back ‘JUDGEMENT’S COMING’ or ‘THE LORD IS COMING’ but of course, that’s just my little ole opinion.
A couple of days ago it was turning further east of Bermuda so the track has moved a little west since then. But still should not be an issue for the East Coast
Ida surely packed a big punch up north after many scoffed at Henri a week ago. Larry should remain a fish, east of Bermuda.
they keep showing some brooklyn hell hole with its toilet backing up...lol...oh the humanity!!!!
Toll gates.
No big loss.
Oh...infrastructure.
My bad.
NYT reporting 11 deaths in NYC were in basement apartments. NYT dramatically describes “a shadow world of basement apartments.” Expect sweeping emergency legislation to overhaul NYC basement apartments following this 500 year flood.
Did the Dems fire up Dick Cheney’s hurricane machine again?

Actually more rain fell in NY/NJ than in La. The conjunction of the tropical depression getting caught in the 140 mph jetstream while drawing Atlantic moisture generated massive rainfalls in a short period. 3.4 inches in Central Pk in one hour. While hurricane winds were not present the jetstream caused localized wind bursts as well as a few tornadoes. And while the area does not have lowlying lands like the Delta and the area around Pnchatrain, NJ, Westchester, Conn are crisscrossed by many rivers and creeks and are now cresting at rarely seen levels. So while it was an unusual confluence of meteorological events, it was not merely a rainstorm.
Hurricane Joe is already devastating the United States; a category 5!
How appropriate a name as Larry elder runs against the gruesome Newsom on the west coast. Hope Larry tears him apart.
Joe Bastardi’s Saturday summaries are free on Weatherbell.com. He backs his predictions up with factual information mixed with information about what similar storms in similar circumstances have done in the past. There really are historical patterns to the weather.
Category ELEVEN! ;)
Good Omen for larry Eder
Don't bother with him he's a know nothing shallow water sailor.
It’s one thing after another.
Fish. Storm.
