The latest projected track for Hanna still has what will be left of the storm tracking over New England late Saturday and early Sunday. The NHC has shifted the track slightly to the right over the last 24 hours, so what side of the storm the lakes region will be on is a toss-up.

Hanna will be moving very fast, even for storms up here in New England. Those on the east side of the storm often have the speed of the storm increasing wind speeds measured on the ground with those west of the storm seeing lower wind speeds. Because of this, track could be important.

Biggest problem for us should be the rain. A fast moving event has less rain because it does not last long. Therefore, faster is better and should keep flood potential low.
