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.

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. …

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…
