A center of circulation developed within a trough of low pressure southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico and the National Hurricane Center classified it as Tropical Storm Norbert.\u00a0 At 5:00 p.m. EDT the center of Tropical Storm Norbert was located at latitude 18.5\u00b0N and longitude 106.5\u00b0W which put it about 150 miles west-southwest of Manzanillo and about 375 miles south of the southern tip of Baja California.\u00a0 Norbert was moving toward the north at 9 m.p.h.\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 40 m.p.h. and the minimum surface pressure was 1004 mb.\u00a0 The government of Mexico has issued a Tropical Storm Watch for Baja California Sur from La Paz, around the southern tip of Baja California to Santa Fe.<\/p>\n
Although there is some northeasterly shear over Norbert, the tropical storm is expected to intensify and at least one numerical model is predicting that it will become a hurricane.\u00a0 Since Norbert is still in the organization stage, the track forecast has a higher than normal degree of uncertainty.\u00a0 Many models are predicting that Norbert will move toward Baja California, but turn west-northwest before the storm reaches the coast.\u00a0 The government of Mexico issued a Tropical Storm Watch for a portion in the coast in case Norbert moves closer to the coast than is currently expected.<\/p>\n
