Tropical Storm Henriette has rapidly strengthened into a hurricane in the central Pacific Ocean with further strengthening expected but poses no threat to land.

Hurricane Henriette was a Category 1 storm on Monday and was well away from Hawaiʻi. The storm had maximum sustained winds of 85 mph and was about 525 miles northwest of Honolulu.

Henriette regained tropical storm strength in the Pacific Ocean well east of Hawaii on Saturday, but forecasters said it was still not expected to pose a threat to land.
