(30 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 85 m.p.h. (135 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 100 m.p.h. (160 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 986 mb.<\/p>\n
Hurricane Henriette strengthened slightly as it moved north of Hawaii on Monday.\u00a0 A small clear area appeared intermittently at the center of Henriette’s circulation.\u00a0 The clear area could be evidence that an eye may form at the center of Hurricane Henriette.\u00a0 The clear area was surrounded by a ring of thunderstorms and the strongest winds were occurring in that ring of storms.\u00a0 Bands of showers and thunderstorms were revolving around the center of Henriette’s circulation.\u00a0 Storms near the center of Henriette generated upper level divergence that pumped mass away from the hurricane.<\/p>\n
The circulation around Hurricane Henriette was small.\u00a0 Winds to tropical storm force extended out 20 miles (30 km) from the center of Henriette’s circulation.\u00a0 Winds to tropical storm force extended out 70 miles (110 km) from the center of Hurricane Henriette.<\/p>\n
Hurricane Henriette will move through an environment mostly 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 eastern side of an upper level low that is northwest of Hawaii.\u00a0 Henriette will move north of a smaller upper level low that is north of Hawaii.\u00a0 The upper level winds are weak in the zone between the two upper level lows and there will be little vertical wind shear.\u00a0 Hurricane Henriette could intensify during the next 24 hours.\u00a0 The upper level winds will get stronger when Henriette moves closer to the upper level low northwest of Hawaii later on Tuesday.\u00a0 Henriette could start to weaken by Tuesday night.<\/p>\n
Hurricane Henriette will move around the southwestern part of a high pressure system over the central North Pacific Ocean.\u00a0 The high pressure system will steer Henriette toward the northwest during the next 24 hours.\u00a0 On its anticipated track, Hurricane Henriette will move farther away from Hawaii.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
