The dual Atlantic and Pacific hurricanes show the season is still not over.
Hurricane season doesn’t end until Nov. 30, and the oceans are still cranking out storms. A pair of hurricanes in the Atlantic and Pacific — Tammy and Norma — are expected to impact land this weekend.
Hurricane Norma, meanwhile, was set to ram the southern Baja Peninsula on Saturday, potentially making a direct hit on Cabo San Lucas midday with what the National Hurricane Center is describing as “life-threatening hurricane conditions and a dangerous storm surge.” In areas where onshore winds pile water against the coastline, a 1 to 3 foot storm surge, or sudden rise in sea level, can’t be ruled out.On Saturday, Hurricane Tammy was meandering through the Lesser Antilles. Its center was located about 50 miles east-southeast of Guadeloupe. Maximum sustained winds were around 85 mph, making Tammy a solid Category 1 hurricane. Some modest strengthening is possible.
