Primary: NWS National Hurricane Center Miami Tropical Storm Norbert Advisory Number 6 and Discussion Number 6 (Forecaster Blake), 500 PM HST / 0300 UTC Fri Sep 11 2026 (EP142026). Intermediate Adv 5 (2100 UTC Thu Sep 10) cited for bridge only.

What it is not: a Baja landfall or coastal watch package; inventing a live Category; re-shipping PM Adv 4 HOLD or overnight Fourteen-E Adv 002 as current; claiming intensity after 0300 UTC — see HUD; SWPC; ECDO proof; Bible prophecy.

Why it matters

Open East Pacific intensifier on the Wire splash — 50 mph and farther west of Baja, with a weekend hurricane lean in the official table while land hazards stay blank. Live Category claims wait for the HUD.
