Hurricane Norma is expected to strike Mexico’s popular Los Cabos resort area from the Pacific Ocean on Saturday with destructive winds and a dangerous storm surge, even while a different hurricane swipes island nations in the Atlantic.
Norma, a Category 3 storm in the Pacific Ocean as of early Saturday, is expected to move over or near parts of Mexico’s Baja California Sur – including Cabo San Lucas – late Saturday afternoon or early evening, the National Hurricane Center said. Norma is expected to be weaker than Category 3 by the time it hits land, but it still will be a hurricane that could bring life-threatening conditions to a tourist-friendly region that’s home to a few hundred thousand people, the hurricane center said.
After raking Baja California Sur, Norma will then make a turn to the east, cross the Gulf of California, and make landfall somewhere along the western coast of mainland Mexico – likely as a tropical storm – by Monday morning. Hurricane Tammy heads for the Leeward Islands In the Atlantic, Tammy, with maximum sustained winds of 80 mph, was centered about 60 miles east-northeast of Dominica early Saturday, the National Hurricane Center said at 5 a.m. ET.
