MIAMI — Storm Henri formed yesterday. Winds are now at 45 mph.
Henri is now located east of the northern Leeward Islands and moving to the west-northwest around 17 mph. This motion is expected to continue today, taking Henri north of the Lesser Antilles.
Henri will be dealing with lots of upper level wind shear through the next couple of days. It is likely that with this wind shear keeps Henri from strengthening and even weakens this system.
