Discussion
A broad upper-level trough remains in place overhead and is producing enough instability for numerous showers in the Mid-Atlantic region. The threat for rain here will persist today, tonight and Saturday as a result of the upper-level system. Meanwhile, the storm track of Tropical Storm Henri will become increasingly influenced this weekend by building high pressure over southeastern Canada and this system is likely to turn to the north and intensify into a hurricane – potentially resulting in a direct impact on Long Island or New England by late Sunday. Tropical storm conditions are possible even in the NYC metro region from Sunday into Monday with strong winds and heavy rains on the table.
