The Pacific and Atlantic storms could both produce flooding rains over land areas into the weekend
Hurricane Norma prompted concerns for heavy rain, flooding and mudslides in Baja California late Friday through Sunday after rapidly strengthening into a Category 4. Norma, now tracking northward in the eastern Pacific Ocean, is the strongest of three tropical systems that forecasters are currently watching.
In the Atlantic Ocean, Tropical Storm Tammy developed late Wednesday to the east of the Windward Islands. It could eventually become a Category 1 hurricane, the National Hurricane Center said, and has the potential to produce several inches of rain and isolated flooding in portions of the Lesser Antilles — the island chain bounding the Caribbean and Atlantic — as well as the Virgin Islands on Friday through this weekend.
Norma’s exact track remains quite uncertain, but it is becoming increasingly likely that there will be impacts to the southern tip of Baja California Sur and Cabo San Lucas by Saturday.“Heavy rainfall from Norma will begin to impact the far southern portions of Baja California Sur late Friday, continuing through Sunday,” the Hurricane Center said. “This rainfall may produce flash and urban flooding, along with possible mudslides in areas of high terrain.
A storm surge, or sudden rise in sea level, of up to a foot to 3 feet above normal tide could occur near where the center of Tammy crosses the Leeward Islands.
