Tropical Storm Erin formed on Monday in the eastern tropical Atlantic Ocean, just west of the Cabo Verde Islands, while Hurricane Henriette intensified in the Pacific Ocean far from Hawaii, according to forecasters.
Currently, there are no coastal watches or warnings for either storm, the Miami-based National Hurricane Center reported. Erin, however, has the potential to become the first hurricane of the 2025 Atlantic season later this week.
At the time of the update, Erin was located approximately 280 miles (451 kilometers) west-northwest of the Cabo Verde Islands, with sustained winds of 45 mph (72 kph). It was moving westward at about 20 mph (32 kph), and gradual strengthening is expected over the coming days.
Meanwhile, Hurricane Henriette was classified as a Category 1 storm on Monday. It had sustained winds reaching 85 mph (137 kph) and was positioned roughly 525 miles (845 kilometers) northwest of Honolulu. Forecasters indicated that Henriette could strengthen further on Monday but is expected to weaken over the next few days.
In the eastern Pacific, the remnants of former Tropical Storm Ivo dissipated on Monday. These remnants were located about 615 miles (990 kilometers) west of the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja California peninsula and posed no threat to land.
