Larry's path and dynamics can be followed in the Meteosat-11 Tropical Airmass imagery (Figure 1). On 13 September, Larry was absorbed by a larger extratropical cyclone near Greenland. Later that day becoming an extratropical cyclone. Larry made landfall in Newfoundland on 11 September, as a Category 1 hurricane. It has stayed a category 3 tropical cyclone for several days, becoming the longest-lived Atlantic major hurricane since Dorian in 2019. After undergoing a period of rapid intensification, Larry became a major Category 3 hurricane early on 4 September. Larry moved quickly across the far eastern tropical Atlantic, where it strengthened into a Category 1 hurricane on 2 September. Larry formed close to Africa on 31 August and the following day developed into a tropical storm, named Larry. Only four other years, since satellite observations began in 1966, had 14 or more named storms by 12 September - 2005, 2011, 2012, and 2020 (Source: NESDIS) An average Atlantic hurricane season sees eight named storms and three hurricanes by mid-September. The 2021 Atlantic hurricane season has been an active one, with 14 named storms to date, including six hurricanes and three major hurricanes (Category 3, 4 or 5). The Atlantic hurricane season peaks in September. This example features measurements of wind speed and significant wave heights caused by hurricane Larry, one of the longest-lived Atlantic hurricanes. Larry is not expected to have a direct threat on the United States – but it could cause large waves and dangerous rip currents along the East Coast by late next week.By Romain Husson and Vinca Rosmorduc ( CLS), Alexis Mouche ( Ifremer) and Ivan Smiljanic (CGI)ĮUMETSAT and ESA satellites contribute to the monitoring and forecasting of hurricanes. Larry should gradually turn to the northwest after Labor Day, and the storm could approach Bermuda, still as a major hurricane, by Thursday – though the forecast track that far out is uncertain. Larry, tracking to the north and west over the open Atlantic, will not be a direct threat to any land for at least the next few days.Īs of Saturday morning, the storm was located in the eastern Atlantic Ocean about 1,055 miles east of the Leeward Islands. Larry could reach Category 4 strength with maximum winds of 140 over the weekend. That makes Larry the third major hurricane – Category 3 or higher – in the Atlantic basin this hurricane season.
The storm’s winds were up to 125 mph as of the 11 a.m.
On Friday night, Larry intensified to a Category 3 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 115 mph, according to the National Hurricane Center. Kathy Hochul has also declared a state of emergency. At least 8 people were killed in New York and New Jersey. Phil Murphy declared a state of emergency as Tropical Storm Ida caused flooding and power outages throughout New Jersey as the Northeast was hit by record rain and tornadoes.
