Norma is the third major storm to hit Mexico in just two weeks.
Hurricane Norma's forecast track could send the storm's impact rippling into Texas.As of Thursday afternoon, the Category 4 hurricane had wind speeds of 130 miles per hour and was churning off the western coast of Mexico. It was headed toward Mexico at 7 mph and is expected to be near the southern part of the state of Baja California on Friday night into Saturday, according to a recent update from the National Hurricane Center .
As a result, Norma will weaken, and its path will likely bring much-needed rain to Texas, which has been struggling with severe drought all summer.As of Thursday, 7 percent of Texas was suffering from exceptional drought, the most severe drought classification by the United States Geological Survey. However, more than 11 percent of the state was free from drought, a slight improvement over last week, when 9.6 percent of Texas was free from drought.
