The latest models show Henri pushing more to the west.
Some beginning bands could be seen in the area very late Saturday, but all day Sunday into Monday morning, a Long Island landfall is looking more likely.
Hurricane-force winds, rain and a bigger storm surge are expected, along with power outages and downed trees and wires.
