(CNN)Parts of the Northeast began to feel Hurricane Henri's first impacts Saturday evening as the storm barreled toward the coast ahead of an anticipated Sunday landfall, threatening to bring damaging winds, dangerous storm surge and flooding to an already saturated area.
The storm's first showers drifted from southern New Jersey and into the northern part of the state Saturday evening and began soaking parts of southwestern New York, heading toward New York City, CNN meteorologist Gene Norman said.
"This rain band could produce rainfall rates of 1-3" per hour this evening into the overnight hours, with considerable flash flooding possible," the National Weather Service of the Eastern Region said on Twitter.
