contents We study the forward self-similar solutions to the $2$D hypodissipative Navier-Stokes equation with fractional diffusion $(-Δ)^α$ for $\frac{1}{2}<α<1$. We first show that for arbitrarily large $(1-2α)$-homogeneous initial data which are locally Lipschitz, there exists at least one weak solution whose profile differs from the self-similar profile of the fractional heat equation by an element of $H^α(\mathbb{R}^2)$. Moreover, when $α\in(\frac{2}{3},1)$ we show that any such weak solution is actually smooth, hence a strong solution, and satisfies certain far field decay estimates.
