Hurricane Norma rapidly intensified into a major hurricane over the East Pacific Wednesday into Thursday morning, as accurately predicted by AccuWeather meteorologists. Some additional strengthening is possible before it begins to lose some wind intensity.
Nor’easter to douse New England and mid-Atlantic, unleashing chilly conditions with snow for some. Get the details.
The Category 4 hurricane had maximum sustained winds of 130 mph as of Thursday morning as it was swirling 410 miles south-southeast of Cabo San Lucas, located at the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula of Mexico. Norma was crawling northward at 7 mph.Norma is not expected to make landfall in Mexico as a major hurricane as the last tropical system to hit the country did just weeks ago.
AccuWeather meteorologists have rated Hurricane Norma as “2” on the AccuWeather RealImpact™ Scale for Hurricanes, which is a six-point scale ranging from “less than one” and 1 to 5, for Mexico. "There should be enough of a jet stream dip to help pull some Gulf of Mexico moisture northward," Lundberg said."But, how dynamic that is will depend on the jet stream dip intensity and whether or not some of Norma's moisture and energy are also involved."
