Atlantic Braces for First Hurricane as Tropical Storm Erin Forms; Henriette Strengthens in Pacific
Tropical Storm Erin has officially formed in the eastern tropical Atlantic, emerging just west of the Cabo Verde Islands. Forecasters from the National Hurricane Center (NHC) indicate that Erin, currently boasting maximum sustained winds of 45 mph (72 kph) and moving west at 20 mph (32 kph), is projected to gradually strengthen and could evolve into the first hurricane of the 2025 Atlantic season later this week.
Meanwhile, in the Pacific, Hurricane Henriette has intensified into a Category 1 storm. Located approximately 525 miles (845 kilometers) northwest of Honolulu, Henriette is packing sustained winds of 85 mph (137 kph). The NHC anticipates further strengthening today before a gradual weakening trend begins in the coming days.
Authorities confirm there are no coastal watches or warnings currently in effect for either storm. Additionally, the remnants of what was once Tropical Storm Ivo have degenerated in the Pacific, posing no threat to land as they drift about 615 miles (990 kilometers) west of Mexico’s Baja California peninsula.
