Tuesday, August 31, 2021 · 6:00 PM – 6:00 PM

Hurricane Larry was a strong and long-lived tropical cyclone that became the first hurricane to make landfall in Newfoundland since Igor in 2010. The twelfth named storm, fifth hurricane, and third major hurricane of the 2021 Atlantic hurricane season, Larry originated from a tropical wave that emerged off the coast of Africa and organized into a tropical depression on August 31. The next day, the depression developed into a tropical storm, receiving the name Larry. The storm moved quickly across the far eastern tropical Atlantic, where it strengthened into a Category 1 hurricane the morning of September 2. Then, after undergoing a period of rapid intensification, Larry became a major Category 3 hurricane early on September 4. After churning for several days as a strong hurricane in the open ocean, and passing near Bermuda, Larry made landfall in Newfoundland on September 11, as a Category 1 hurricane, becoming an extratropical cyclone later that same day. On September 13, the storm was absorbed by a larger extratropical cyclone near Greenland. Category 3 hurricane: peak winds of 125 mph (110 knots), lowest pressure 953 mb. August 31 – September 11, 2021. Landfall: September 11 at 80 mph, 47.3°N 54.6°W. Accumulated cyclone energy: 31.9.
