Henri Might Turn Into A Hurricane And Swipe Cape Cod National Seashore, Acadia National Park

Tropical Storm Henri could strengthen into a hurricane and slam Cape Cod, Acadia National Park/NHC

Travelers thinking of heading to Cape Cod National Seashore or Acadia National Park this weekend should keep an eye on the weather, as Tropical Storm Henri could turn into a hurricane bearing down on the Northeast.

Though the storm's progression and path could change, on Wednesday the National Hurricane Center had plotted a possible course that had Henri growing into a hurricane by Friday night and possibly glancing, or careening into, the Northeast late in the weekend.

"Given the uncertainty in the longer range track forecasts, users should be prepared for additional adjustments to the NHC track forecast in future forecast cycles," the meteorologists said.

"Swells from Henri could reach much of the East Coast of the U.S. and Atlantic Canada by the end of the week and continue through the weekend," the forecast said. "These swells could cause life-threatening surf and rip currents. Uncertainty in the track forecast for Henri this weekend and early next week is larger than usual, and there is some risk of direct impacts from Henri in portions of the northeastern U.S. and Atlantic Canada during that time."

Along with Acadia and Cape Cod, other units of the National Park System that could be impacted include New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park, Roger Williams National Memorial, Blackstone River Valley National Historical Park, Salem Maritime National Historic Site, and Lowell National Historical Park.
