A live map provided by NOAA of Henri.
Tropical Storm Henri is moving slowly toward New England, where it is expected to make landfall sometime Sunday as a hurricane. Where is the storm now? Read on for live radar and storm maps.
Live radar reveals Henri’s location
Radar and live maps can help you keep track of Henri’s current location and where the storm is moving. The storm is expected to strengthen over the next few days and make landfall in the New England region.
This first live radar, embedded below, is from Windy.com. This radar is one of the most useful for tracking Henri’s location live. You can press the + button on the right side of the map to zoom in more. You can also move the map forward in time to see where the storm is forecast to head. Depending on your browser, you may need to click and drag the map to see Henri’s location.
Google used to have crisis maps to track storms, but those have been eliminated as of April 2021. Another live storm tracker, from NowCoast at NOAA.gov, is here. While the map cannot be embedded, it will provide live updates as NOAA tracks the storm. It is another good resource for tracking the storm in real-time.
You can also watch live tracker videos. NBC News has a live follow-up video below on YouTube. You can also watch the video here if the video below does not insert correctly.

Henri’s projected path
At 5 p.m. ET on Friday, August 20, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) provided a map of Henri’s projected path, which you can view above or via the link here. At 5 p.m., Henri was located at 31.2N, 73.9W about 290 miles south-southeast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, and about 695 miles south of Montauk Point, New York. The storm was moving from north to northwest (340 degrees) at 7 mph.
The National Hurricane Center noted at 5 pm: Henri is moving northwest at about 7 mph (11 km / h). A turn to the north is expected tonight, and Henri is forecast to accelerate in that direction until early Sunday morning. On the forecast track, Henri is expected to make landfall on Long Island or southern New England on Sunday.
Maximum sustained winds are near 70 mph (110 km / h) with stronger gusts. Strengthening is forecast for the next day or so, and Henri is expected to become a hurricane tonight or Saturday and has or near hurricane strength when it makes landfall on Long Island or southern New England.
In an NHC discussion, you can read where meteorologists also reported at 5 p.m. that they would send planes to investigate Henri later in the day to collect more data on the strength of the storm:
Henri seems to be slowly gaining strength. Deep convection has increased over the past few hours and the upper level outflow continues to better establish itself on the east side of the circulation. However, the low-level center is still near the northwestern edge of deep convection due to constant north wind shear. An ASCAT-B pass a few hours ago showed peak winds of around 55 kt, with the strongest winds on the southeast side of the circulation. Based on these data, the initial intensity is set at 60 kt. An Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter plane is scheduled to investigate Henri again tonight and the data the plane collects will be very helpful in estimating the strength and structure of the storm.
