What is Hurricane Larry’s projected path?

Larry is a Category 3 hurricane with the potential to turn into a Category 4 storm, according to Accuweather meteorologists.

The storm is expected to be in the Atlantic Ocean for several more days before eventually making its way to Bermuda around the middle of the week, moving closer to North America, Accuweather said.

“At this point, it is most likely that Larry will miss the United States and stay a few hundred miles away from the Northeast coast,” the hurricane center stated.

What is the National Hurricane Center saying about Hurricane Larry?

It is still very likely that the US will feel the effects of the hurricane by midweek.

The hurricane center revealed that the storm is “likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.”

On Sunday, September 5, the storm was about 830 miles east of the Northern Leeward Islands, moving northwest at 13 mph with winds at 125 mph, the National Hurricane Center said.

“Little change in strength is forecast during the next few days, although fluctuations in intensity will be possible. Larry is expected to remain a major hurricane through the middle of this week,” the center said.

The center says the storm is a large hurricane with forceful winds extending outward up to 45 miles from the center and tropical-storm-force winds pushing outward up to 175 miles.

When is hurricane season?

Hurricane season runs from June 1 through November 30.

So far, the US has had five hurricanes in 2021.

The storms are: Danny, Elsa, Fred, Henri and Ida.

According to hurricane researcher Phil Klotzbach, the US is running ahead in the number of named storms making landfall this year as the average is usually two at this time.

“We’re running well ahead of schedule, especially for named storms,” Klotzbach said.
