The storm is expected to remain at hurricane strength when it reaches Cabo San Lucas later Saturday.
The Category 2 storm is moving towards landfall and is expected to severely impact the region with life-threatening flash floods, strong winds and a dangerous storm surge. A restaurant remains closed due to the arrival of Hurricane Norma at Los Cabos in Baja California State, Mexico, on October 20, 2023. Hurricane Norma on Friday once again strengthened to a Category 3 storm as it approaches a tourist hotspot on Mexico's Pacific coast.
Norma's strength has been gradually weakening through Saturday morning as the storm encounters cooler waters and a more hostile atmosphere, with estimated peak winds at 100 mph as of the latest advisory from the National Hurricane Center on Saturday morning, down from 120 mph overnight. But the storm is expected to remain at hurricane strength when it reaches Cabo San Lucas later in the day.
By Sunday, rainfall totals were forecast to reach 5–10 inches in the area, with spots around Cabo San Lucas receiving as much as 15 inches of rain, according to the NHC. A dangerous storm surge was likely along coastal areas that experience onshore hurricane-force winds, with large and destructive waves churning on the surface.
Norma is forecast to continue weakening as it pushes back into the Gulf of California and heads towards the west coast of Mexico at Sinaloa near Culiacan as a tropical storm on Monday. Meanwhile, a second tropical disturbance farther south continues to show signs of development in what could eventually form a one-two punch to the Mexican coast with a high chance of becoming a tropical depression in the next two days.
