Henri, now a tropical depression, isn’t finished with New England just yet, according to local meteorologists.

The National Weather Service predicts that Henri’s remnants will move back through the area Monday, and there’s a possibility of flooding and isolated scattered showers and thunderstorms that could come with “torrential downpours.” 

There’s also the possibility of a “brief isolated tornado,” according to the service.

Another 1 to 3 inches of rain is possible, the service said.

Henri downed trees and knocked out power in Rhode Island, but the Greater Boston area didn’t feel much of the storm’s wrath. Power went out for about 140,000 homes. When the storm made landfall in Westerly, Rhode Island, winds were clocked at 60 mph with gusts at 70 mph.
