The National Hurricane Center (NOAA) is closely monitoring several tropical systems in both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans that could affect travel in the coming days.
In the Atlantic, a possible hurricane — which would be named Hurricane Erin — has a 90% chance of becoming a cyclone within the next seven days, PIX11 reports.
The storm has a 70% chance of developing into a tropical depression by Tuesday, bringing heavy rain and gusty winds to the Cabo Verde islands off the West African coast.

If not classified as a tropical depression by Tuesday, it is still expected to become a tropical storm by the end of the week.
According to reports, Hurricane Henriette, currently in the Pacific, is staying far north of Hawaii and is not expected to make landfall.
In the Pacific Ocean, USA Today reports two tropical storms are intensifying. Tropical Storm Ivo, about 180 miles south-southeast of Baja California, is expected to become a hurricane before weakening this weekend.
Ivo could generate dangerous surf and rip currents along Baja and southwestern Mexico, with 1-2 inches of rain possible.

Tropical Storm Henriette, about 975 miles east of Hilo, Hawaii, is forecast to strengthen to hurricane status but is expected to remain far north of Hawaii. Swells could still affect marine activities in northern Hawaiian waters.
The NOAA also notes a tropical wave in the central Atlantic with a 60% chance of developing into a tropical depression over the next seven days, which could affect Caribbean and East Coast destinations if it strengthens and changes course.
