Tropical Storm Ivo could become hurricane Aug. 8: See path tracker, forecast
As the Atlantic hurricane season enters its most significant months, forecasters are also watching two tropical storms form in the Pacific.
Located about 385 miles southeast of the southern tip of Baja California, Mexico, Tropical Storm Ivo was moving northwest at 21 mph with maximum sustained winds near 60 mph and higher gusts, the National Hurricane Center said in an advisory on Thursday, Aug. 7.
The center said it expects Ivo to "start moving away from the coast of Mexico over the next day or so." By the weekend, forecasters expect the storm to turn more westward, away from Mexico.
Ivo will likely bring rainfall of 2 to 4 inches with some isolated totals of 6 inches across parts of the Mexican states of Guerrero, Michoacan de Ocampo and Colima through Friday, NHC forecasters said. The system may also produce swells likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions over the next few days.
Tropical Storm Henriette, located about 1,195 miles east of Hilo, Hawaii, was moving west with maximum sustained winds near 45 mph with higher gusts, the center reported.
NHC forecasters expect the storm to keep heading west through Thursday, Aug. 7 before turning northwest on Friday and over the weekend. The center of the storm is expected to stay well to the north of the Hawaiian Islands.
No coastal watches or warnings regarding Henriette are in effect Thursday, Aug. 7 with little change in strength expected through the next few days.

Tropical Storm Henriette strengthens in the Pacific but is not forecast to threaten land
HILO, Hawaii (AP) — Tropical Storm Henriette was strengthening in the central Pacific Ocean far northeast of Hawaii and could become a hurricane but posed no threat to land, the National Hurricane Center said Sunday. The storm was located about 415 miles (670 kilometers) north-northeast of Hilo, Hawaii, according to the Miami-based center, and was moving northwest at 16 mph (26 kph). That course was expected to continue for the next few days, taking Henriette well north of the Hawaiian islands. Its maximum sustained winds were at 60 mph (95 kph), with some further strengthening expected. The storm could become a hurricane late Sunday or Monday, the center said. No coastal watches or warnings were issued. The threshold for a hurricane is winds of 74 mph (120 kph). The center described Henriette as a small tropical cyclone. Tropical Storm Ivo was also moving through the Pacific, about 400 miles (645 kilometers) west of the tip of Baja California, Mexico, and was expected to weaken to a remnant low by Monday, the hurricane center said. The storm had maximum sustained winds of 40 mph (65 kph) and was moving west-northwest at 10 mph (17 kph). No coastal watches or warnings were in effect. The Associated Press
