Two tropical storms were gaining force and pushing westward across the Pacific on Monday, at least one of them on a path likely to take it just south of the Hawaiian Islands at week’s end.
The National Hurricane Center said Tropical Storm Erick was about 1,475 miles east-southeast of Hilo, Hawaii, early Monday. It had maximum sustained winds of 70 mph and was moving west at 16 mph.
The center said Erick could grow into a major hurricane Tuesday but was expected to begin losing strength Wednesday and gradually weaken into a tropical storm before nearing Hawaii. Farther to the east, Tropical Storm Flossie formed, and it was following a roughly similar track, though a bit to the north.It was centered about 745 miles south-southwest of the southern tip of Baja California and was moving west at 20 mph. The storm had maximum sustained winds of 40 mph, though it too was projected to grow into a hurricane sometime Tuesday.
