Former Tropical Storm Norbert regained tropical depression status south of Baja California on Tuesday afternoon.\u00a0 At 5:00 p.m. EDT on Tuesday the center of Tropical Depression Norbert was located at latitude 19.8\u00b0N and longitude 111.7\u00b0W which put it about 245 miles (390 km) south-southwest of the southern tip of Baja California.\u00a0 Norbert was moving toward the northwest at 13 m.p.h. (20 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 35 m.p.h. (55 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 45 m.p.h. (75 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 1007 mb.<\/p>\n
After strong vertical wind shear weakened former Tropical Storm Norbert on Saturday, the lower levels of the circulation drifted slowly toward the northwest.\u00a0 The surface circulation around the former tropical storm moved into a region where the upper level winds were not as strong on Monday.\u00a0 More thunderstorms began to develop in bands revolving around around the center of the surface circulation.\u00a0 Additional thunderstorms formed near the center of the low on Tuesday afternoon and the National Hurricane Center designated the system as Tropical Depression Norbert.<\/p>\n
Tropical Depression Norbert will move through a region somewhat favorable for intensification during the next 12 to 24 hours.\u00a0 Norbert will move over water where the Sea Surface Temperature is near 28\u00b0C during the next 12 hours.\u00a0 It will remain over water warmer than 26\u00b0C until Wednesday afternoon.\u00a0 After that time Norbert will start to move over even cooler water.\u00a0 An upper level low west of central Baja California will produce southerly winds which will blow toward the top of Tropical Depression Norbert.\u00a0 Those winds will produce vertical wind shear, but Norbert will remain east of the strongest shear for another 24 hours.\u00a0 When Norbert gets closer to the upper level low later on Wednesday, then the shear will increase and will cause it to weaken.<\/p>\n
Tropical Depression Norbert will move between the upper level low west of Baja Californa and and upper level ridge over the southwestern U.S. and northern Mexico.\u00a0 Those two weather systems will steer Norbert toward the northwest during the next several days.\u00a0 On its anticipated track Tropical Depression Norbert is forecast to move parallel to the west coast of Baja California.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
