 Hurricane Norbert was described as "big and ugly" by meteorologists. Planes were advised to use caution while navigating in the area. The Mazatlan government marine operator warned shipping to exercise extreme caution from Jalisco to Baja California Sur. The Eastern Pacific Hurricane Center noted the possibility of heavy rains and flooding across portions of the Baja California Peninsula. Throughout Mexico, a combination of Norbert and several other storms left many people without a home and hotels nearly empty. Scattered and light rainfall fell across portions of Baja California Norte and Sonora, with rainfalls totals of 2.38 in (60 mm) and 2.44 in (62 mm) at Bento Juarez and Denchiva-San Pendro respectively. In all, rainfall data was reported at 284 locations across Mexico. Upon entering Arizona, sustained winds of 20 to 30 mph (30 to 50 km / h) were recorded in the Tucson metropolitan area. Due to its rapid motion, only moderate rainfall occurred throughout south-central to northeast Arizona, with most locations reporting between 1 to 2 in (25 to 51 mm) of rain. However, Kitt Peak reported a 30-hour storm rainfall total of 4.15 in (105 mm). Lower than normal pressures were also recorded. Across New Mexico, flash flood warnings were posted due to heavy rainfall.
