Grace barrels toward the Yucatan, Henri poses threat to Northeast next week

Grace continues to move towards Mexico as a strong category 1 hurricane.

Grace is expected to gain additional strength on approach to the Yucatan peninsula as it moves over the open waters of the Caribbean over the next  24 hours.

SWFL will not experience any impacts from Grace as the track remains hundreds of miles to our south. 

Tropical Storm Henri

A significant shift to the west in the forecast for Henri now includes NYC and Boston by the beginning of next week.

Henri is expected to reach hurricane status by Friday as it moves to the west. From there, a sharp north turn is anticipated as it maintains hurricane status. 

Questions remain regarding the direction it will move but interests in New England and the Northeast should monitor this storm carefully over the next few days.
