Extreme Weather 2019: Hurricane Erick Expected To Miss Hawaii, Tropical Storm Flossie Upgraded To Hurricane
July 31, 2019
Hurricane Erick and now Hurricane Flossie continue their path barreling towards the Central Pacific.
Since forming over the weekend, Erick has only intensified in strength because of the ideal conditions the area of the Pacific it formed in. It has only gained strength due to the warm waters and low wind shear the Pacific has provided. This has resulted in Erick being identified as a Category 3 hurricane by Wednesday morning as it continues moving west.
