As of: August 07, 2013; 5:58 AM Behind Gil, Tropical Storm Henriette strengthened into a hurricane early on Tuesday morning. For the time being, Henriette is far away from any land. However, there is a chance it could approach Hawaii late this weekend and bring some impact. Henriette appears like it will take a more northerly path than Gil. As it continues to track to the west-northwest through late week, Henriette will encounter cooler water and weaken. The storm is projected to reach near Hawaii by Sunday, perhaps enhancing showers and stirring higher surf. Even experienced surfers should be cautious as wave heights could increase quickly and swells could come from directions that are not typical. It should also be noted that Gil has weakened through Tuesday night and is no longer a tropical storm. Gill will move well to the south of Hawaii, but it could still generate high surf and a few showers on south-facing beaches.
