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.
Once heard their is a rat for every person in the big cities. With all the flooding in Philly and NYC, I wonder where all the rats went. Really creeped me out even thinking about it.
Why get storm info regurgitated & 2nd hand from the ZULUs when you can go to the source.
I would also use Mikes Weather page b4 the Z’s
And only a few years ago they were Predicting New England would turn into a desert because of “Climate Change”.
The fascist grifters are shameless.

Now, go away bossy little boy.
For many years, I have witnessed the spoken phrase from the high and mighty east coast: ‘Oh, Louisiana got hit with a hurricane. Please pass the poupon.”
So, as I sit here in Central Louisiana, and can say I lived in the NYC area, I see that y’all are having a problem with a little rain, and maybe a major hurricane coming.
“Please, another andouille?”
This is not the first hurricane remnant to go through this area, and it won’t be the last.
Climate Change my arse.
windy.com is forecasting landfall North of Newfoundland, CA.

I hope you’re right - I’m sick of pumping out my basement...
The latest run of the U.S. “GFS” weather model shows Larry close to Bermuda (as a cat-4 hurricane) by next Thursday and then hitting southeast Newfoundland (the Avalon peninsula) as a strong low (possibly still a cat-1 hurricane) within a couple of days of that Bermuda pass. It ends up weakening rapidly south of Iceland and is just a garden variety low off the coast of Norway in about two weeks. But earlier there were suggestions it would take a sharper turn, miss Bermuda to the east and circle back around to northwest Africa, so the trends are towards the west and north.
Normally model runs that show this sequence stop moving closer to the east coast of the U.S. and about the furthest west that landfall might occur would be Nova Scotia rather than Newfoundland but you might keep an eye on developments if you live in New England. At the moment I would say less than a 10% chance of a U.S. landfall. These are the most powerful hurricanes, the “Cape Verde” full ocean transit types — the 1938 Long Island Express started out in the same general area.
People recovering from Ida could use a break.
