Hurricane Hilary is forecasted to weaken to a tropical storm as it approaches Southern California this weekend. This is a significant event since no tropical storm has made landfall in this region since September 25, 1939, according to the National Weather Service.

The storm poses various potential threats to life and property, including extreme flooding, mudslides, and tornados. The hurricane officials have alerted that heavy rainfall is expected in the Southwestern United States, with 3 to 6 inches of rainfall anticipated in parts, and isolated areas experiencing up to 10 inches. This level of rainfall is unusual for southern California and southern Nevada, particularly for the larger desert regions that are not accustomed to receiving much rain.

Typically, storms do not reach Southern California because prevailing winds tend to push them either westward into the open ocean or northeastward towards Mexico and other parts of the U.S. Southwest. However, in the case of Hurricane Hilary, it is expected to hit parts of southern California and southern Nevada.

Stay updated on the progress of the storm through satellite and radar composite imagery, which will provide different views of the storm and its impact on the region. Please note that this map will be periodically updated to offer the most recent information.
