MIAMI – On Monday, Tropical Storm Erin emerged 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.
There were no coastal watches or warnings in effect for either storm, the Miami-based National Hurricane Center said.

Additional strengthening was possible Monday, with weakening over the next few days.
In the Pacific, the remnants of what was once Tropical Storm Ivo deteriorated on Monday, as noted by the NHC. These remnants were located around 615 miles (990 kilometers) west of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula of Mexico, posing no threat to land.
