Hurricane Marie Maintains Category 1 Status in Pacific Ocean While Moving Away from Mexican Coast

Hurricane Marie remains a category 1 hurricane in the Pacific Ocean, moving northwestward at a speed of 15 kilometers per hour. The National Meteorological Service (SMN) reported that the system is located approximately 1,085 kilometers west of Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur. While the hurricane is moving away from the Mexican coast, it is expected to cause elevated waves of 2 to 3 meters in height on the western coast of the Baja California Peninsula. Authorities from the National Water Commission (Conagua) indicated that Hurricane Marie will not generate rainfall in Mexico during the next 24 hours. The SMN forecast indicates that the system will begin to weaken while continuing to move into the Pacific Ocean. By early morning Sunday, September 6, the system is predicted to degrade to a tropical storm. By Wednesday, September 9, it is expected to weaken further to a tropical depression. Meteorological authorities are also monitoring a new low-pressure system south of the Baja California Peninsula. This system has a 60% probability of developing into a tropical cyclone within the next 7 days. If it develops, it will be named Tropical Storm Norbert.
