New Forecast: Huge Hurricane Larry Churning In Atlantic; Latest Projected Path New Forecast: Huge Hurricane Larry Churning In Atlantic; Latest Projected Path
New Forecast: Huge Hurricane Larry Churning In Atlantic; Latest Projected Path Forecasters are watching powerful Hurricane Larry churning in the Atlantic Basin, warning it could wind up being an even stronger storm than Ida, which left a trail of destruction through multiple states. The latest projected track for the Category 3 storm, packed with 115 mile-per-hour winds, still keeps it well off the US coast. But impacts from Larry "will be far-reaching even though the storm may stay hundreds of miles away from the Atlantic beaches from Florida to Maine, AccuWeather says. Potential for severe thunderstorms and flash flooding across parts of the Northeast on Wednes…
Here's Why There's Concern Over Hurricane Larry's Rip Currents Here's Why There's Concern Over Hurricane Larry's Rip Currents
Here's Why There's Concern Over Hurricane Larry's Rip Currents Although Hurricane Larry won't get within 700 miles of the East Coast, the National Weather Service says it does pose an indirect -- and potentially deadly -- danger. Unlike Hurricane Ida, Larry won't bring rain, floods, howling wind or tornadoes. The concern is in the sea. A year ago, Hurricane Teddy was blamed for a rip current drowning in New Jersey, a week after Hurricane Paulette stirred waves that produced two others in the Garden State and South Carolina. Fast-moving channels of water from Hurricane Lorenzo caused eight East Coast deaths, including those of two Rockaway Beach teens…
Hurricane Larry Should Make Waves, Blow Some Wind, But That's Most Likely It, Forecasters Say Hurricane Larry Should Make Waves, Blow Some Wind, But That's Most Likely It, Forecasters Say
Hurricane Larry Should Make Waves, Blow Some Wind, But That's Most Likely It, Forecasters Say Hurricane Larry is making waves -- big ones -- as he spins his way up the Atlantic, but it's still highly doubtful he'll come close enough to do any serious damage to the East Coast, the National Weather Service repeated Monday. Doubling down on its predictions of the Labor Day weekend, the service said the worst we could see in our area are "significant swells" in the Atlantic. These will be "likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions," according to its latest report. Bermuda could take a hit, most likely on Thursday, but that wasn't a sure thing, forecasters said. …
'Lumbering' Larry Looks Like He'll Be Losing Steam, Hurricane Center Reports 'Lumbering' Larry Looks Like He'll Be Losing Steam, Hurricane Center Reports
'Lumbering' Larry Looks Like He'll Be Losing Steam, Hurricane Center Reports As Labor Day dawned, Hurricane Larry already was showing signs of slowing down, although things could get a bit dicey at the Jersey Shore, meteorologists said. With maximum sustained winds near 125 miles per hour and "little change in strength forecast the next day or so," it was expected to remain no more than a Category 3 hurricane, the National Hurricane Center reported late Sunday. Larry nonetheless is still a "large and expanding" hurricane that's expected to cause "life-threatening surf and rip current conditions" along the Jersey Shore and certain points north around midweek. "Beac…
LATEST ON LARRY: Larger, Stronger 'But Not Close Enough' For Concern Here LATEST ON LARRY: Larger, Stronger 'But Not Close Enough' For Concern Here
Latest ON Larry: Larger, Stronger 'But Not Close Enough' For Concern Here Hurricane Larry may be getting larger and stronger, but it isn't worth worrying about in New Jersey and surrounding states, forecasters said Sunday. "The week ahead looks to be a relatively quiet one, with one cold front coming through on Wednesday with the chance for showers or a thunderstorm late in the day," said meteorologist Joe Cioffi. "Hurricane Larry will pass east of Bermuda by a close distance but not close enough to cause any major issues. "Then it turns northeast passing south and east of Nova Scotia and Newfoundland." That means New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut…
HURRICANE WATCH: Larry 'Won't Be An Issue' For NY/NJ, Weather Experts Say HURRICANE WATCH: Larry 'Won't Be An Issue' For NY/NJ, Weather Experts Say
Hurricane Watch: Larry 'Won't Be An Issue' For NY/NJ, Weather Experts Say Don't worry: Fears of Hurricane Larry bearing down on the New York metropolitan area are unfounded, weather experts agreed. Although it looked like it could reach category 4, with maximum sustained winds of 115 mph on Saturday morning, Larry is likely to avoid the Northeast entirely, they said.  That's good news, considering the potential that Larry could surpass Ida as the Atlantic's strongest storm so far this year. Most of the Labor Day weekend in the Northeast will bring sunshine and low humidity -- with highs mostly in the 70s on Saturday -- as areas flooded by Tropical Storm Ida con…
