Tropical Storm Norma forms in Pacific off Mexico
Tropical Storm Norma has formed far off Mexico's western Pacific coast and is expected to gain strength and move toward the resort-studded Baja California peninsula.
The US National Hurricane Center says Norma formed Thursday about 395 miles (635 kilometers) south of the twin resorts of Los Cabos, at the southern tip of the peninsula.
The storm has winds of 40 mph (65 kph) is moving north at 5 mph (7 kph).
On that track Norma could be at hurricane strength just west of Los Cabos by Monday.
