Hurricane Hilary Expected to Weaken to Tropical Storm as it Makes Landfall in Southern California
This page features the latest satellite and radar composite imagery for Hurricane Hilary, which is expected to weaken to a tropical storm as it makes landfall in Southern California this weekend.
No tropical storm has made landfall in Southern California since Sept. 25, 1939, according to the National Weather Service. The storm is expected to bring potential threats to life and property, including extreme flooding, mudslides, and tornados.
Hurricane officials have stated that the storm could bring heavy rainfall to the Southwestern United States, with parts of southern California and southern Nevada expected to receive 3 to 6 inches of rain. Some isolated areas could see amounts of up to 10 inches, impacting large desert areas that are unaccustomed to such high levels of rainfall.
Normally, storms do not hit Southern California as prevailing winds typically push them either due west into the open ocean or northeastward into Mexico and other parts of the U.S. Southwest. However, Hurricane Hilary is an exception to this pattern.
It is important to stay updated with the latest information and follow any evacuation orders or safety guidelines issued by local authorities.
