 Tropical Storm Norman brought minor flooding to western Mexico and record rainfall to areas of Texas in September 2012. The fourteenth tropical cyclone and fourteenth named storm of the 2012 Pacific hurricane season, Norman developed near the southern tip of Baja California early on September 28. Upon developing into a tropical cyclone on September 28, Norman attained its peak intensity with maximum sustained winds of 50 mph (85 km / h). Heading northward into the Gulf of California, the storm began to weaken later that day due to southwesterly wind shear and land interaction. Norman curved northwestward and weakened to a tropical depression early on September 29. Around that time, it briefly moved inland near Topolobampo, Sinaloa, before re-emerging into the Gulf of California. Later on September 29, Norman degenerated into a remnant low pressure area.
