The slow and sprawling storm system named Henri is now drenching much of the inland Northeast with rain and threatening severe flooding in areas with ground already saturated from a wet summer. Rains from the storm deluged areas from New Hampshire to New York City and down to New Jersey and Pennsylvania by Monday. As much 8 inches had already fallen in some areas of New Jersey by Sunday. An additional 1 to 3 inches was possible. Henri spared coastal areas of New York and New England major damage when its center made landfall Sunday in Rhode Island as a tropical storm.
