Tropical Storm Henriette churned westward over the Eastern North Pacific Ocean on Tuesday.\u00a0 At 5:00 p.m. EDT on Tuesday the center of Tropical Storm Henriette was located at latitude 17.0\u00b0N and longitude 125.6\u00b0W which put the center about 1095 miles (1765 km) west-southwest of the southern tip of Baja California.\u00a0 Henriette was moving toward the west-northwest at 16 m.p.h. (26 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 50 m.p.h. (80 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 65 m.p.h. (105 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 1003 mb.<\/p>\n
The structure of Tropical Storm Henriette did not change much on Tuesday.\u00a0 The distribution of thunderstorms in Tropical Storm Henriette continued to be asymmetrical.\u00a0 Thunderstorms were occurring in bands in the western side of Henriette\u2019s circulation.\u00a0 Bands in the eastern side of Tropical Storm Henriette consisted primarily of showers and lower clouds.\u00a0 Storms on the western side of the center of Henriette generated upper level divergence that pumped mass away to the west of the tropical storm.\u00a0 The removal of mass in the upper levels was balanced by an inflow of mass in the lower levels of the atmosphere.\u00a0 The balance of outflow and inflow of mass caused the surface pressure to remain nearly constant.<\/p>\n
The size of the circulation around Tropical Storm Henriette increased a little on Tuesday.\u00a0 Winds to tropical storm force extended out 70 miles (110 km) from the center of Henriette’s circulation.<\/p>\n
Tropical Storm Henriette will move through an environment marginally favorable for intensification during the next 24 hours.\u00a0 Henriette will move over water where the Sea Surface Temperatures are near 26\u00b0C.\u00a0 It will move under the southern side of an upper level ridge over the Eastern North Pacific Ocean.\u00a0 The upper level ridge will produce easterly winds that will blow toward the top of Henriette\u2019s circulation.\u00a0 Those winds will cause some vertical wind shear. The vertical wind shear will inhibit intensification.\u00a0 The intensity of Tropical Storm Henriette is likely to remain nearly constant during the next 24 hours.<\/p>\n
Tropical Storm Henriette will move around the southern side of a high pressure system over the Eastern North Pacific Ocean.\u00a0 The high pressure system will steer Henriette toward the west-northwest during the next 24 hours.\u00a0 On its anticipated track, Tropical Storm Henriette will continue to move farther away from Baja California.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
