Tropical Weather Forecast - October 20, 2023

Tropics remain active with two hurricanes that we are currently tracking! There's Hurricane Tammy in the Atlantic and Hurricane Norma in the eastern Pacific. Tammy is expected to hit parts of the Lesser Antilles today and tomorrow before turning north. Damaging winds, large swells and several inches of rain will be possible that could lead to flooding. Guadeloupe remains under a hurricane warning with a tropical storm warning for Dominica. Tammy should stay away from the United States as it turns north then northeast early next week. Hurricane Norma is a major hurricane just west of Mexico. It is moving north and should hit the southern tip of the Baja Peninsula this weekend. Some of the moisture from Norma will spill into Texas early next week. Another broad area of low pressure in the SW Caribbean is being monitored for tropical development. But the chance is only 10-20% for now as it moves west. This system should push into Central America early next week.
