Hurricane Norbert Forms Off Mexico's Pacific Coast

MEXICO CITY (AP) ― The U.S. National Hurricane Center says Hurricane Norbert has formed far off Mexico's Pacific coast.

The center says Norbert is centered 315 miles (510 kilometers) south-southwest of the port city of Manzanillo, and is not expected to threaten land.

The storm had winds of 75 mph (120 kph) Monday night. Forecasters said Norbert was moving west-northwest at 8 mph (13 kph) and was expected to continue that path over the next two days.

Norbert is seventh hurricane of the east Pacific.
