Hurricane Norbert will make landfall on the Baja California Peninsula early this afternoon.
Norbert re-intensified into a major hurricane last night, but fortunately weakened slightly early this morning.
It has top winds around 110 mph, making it a category two hurricane.
It will pass over the Gulf of California and make its second landfall near Ciudad Obregon around 7 p.m. tonight.
The storm will weaken rapidly over the mountainous terrain of Mexico but will continue contributing lots of moisture to the storm system over the western U.S. as it moves on the Plains.
It could help to produce very heavy rains like 1983’s Tico. Shawnee, Oklahoma picked up over ten inches of rain from that system.
