Tropical Storm Erin formed on Monday in the eastern tropical Atlantic Ocean and is projected to become the first hurricane of the 2025 Atlantic season later this week, according to forecasters. As of Monday afternoon, Erin was located approximately 430 miles west-northwest of the Cabo Verde Islands, with maximum sustained winds reaching 45 mph. The storm is moving westward at a speed of 20 mph and is expected to maintain this trajectory for several days.

Forecasters anticipate gradual strengthening of Erin over the coming days, with the potential for it to reach hurricane status by the end of the week. However, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) noted that it is too early to assess any possible impacts from Erin as it approaches the northern Leeward Islands.

In the Pacific Ocean, Hurricane Henriette has also gained strength, becoming a Category 1 storm. It is situated about 595 miles northwest of Honolulu and is expected to maintain its hurricane status for another day or two before beginning to weaken. Henriette has maximum sustained winds of 85 mph.

Additionally, the remnants of Tropical Storm Ivo have dissipated, located about 615 miles west of the southern tip of Mexico's Baja California peninsula. Forecasters have indicated that these remnants pose no threat to land.
