Forecasters expect Pacific storm warts to “start to leave the Mexican coast the next day or so.”
As the Atlantic hurricane season enters its most important month, predictors are looking at the shapes of two tropical storms in the Pacific Ocean.
The tropical storm wart, located about 385 miles southeast of the southern tip of Baja California, Mexico, had moved northwest to the northwest with the largest sustained winds to 60 mph and higher gusts, the National Hurricane Center recommended Thursday, August 7.
The center said it expects IVO to “start to leave the Mexican coast the next day or so.” By the weekend, predictors hope that the storm will change westward, leaving Mexico.
IVO is likely to bring 2-4 inches of rainfall in a total of 6 inches of quarantined in parts of Mexico, Michoa Candeo Campo and Colima by Friday, NHC forecasters said. The system could also cause life-threatening surfing over the next few days, causing swelling that is likely to tear through the current state.
The tropical storm Henriette, located about 1,195 miles east of Hiro, Hawaii, was moving westward with higher gusts and close to 45 mph with the largest sustained winds, the center reported.
NHC forecasters are hoping the storm will head west from Thursday, August 7th before turning northwest on Friday and weekend. The storm is expected to remain north of Hawaiian islands.
Coastal clocks and warnings regarding Henriette will be in effect on Thursday, August 7th, with little change expected for the coming days.

Dexter expected to strengthen in the Atlantic
According to the NHC, post-tropical cyclone dexters produced tropical storms in the North Atlantic, located about 390 miles southeast of Cape Place, Newfoundland, Canada. The storm was at maximum sustained winds at nearly 60 mph as of Thursday afternoon, August 7th.
The storm is expected to bolster from Thursday to Friday to the second half of Friday, August 8, before weakening on Friday nights on Saturday, August 9th.
There is no threat to the land due to the storm.
