And we have this:

Jimena Won't Put the Flames Out

**************************EXCERPT*******************************

The massive wildfire burning in Southern California will be put out when it runs out of fuel, firefighters gain the upper hand or both of these factors combine forces.

Powerful Hurricane Jimena will provide no assistance, whatsoever. The hurricane's heaviest rain will fall across the southern and central Baja as well as along a portion of the coastline of western Mexico. These locations can expect localized severe flooding.

Some of that tropical moisture would go a long way in helping to extinguish the Southern California blaze, but it can't get there. The flow is simply not aligned properly.

For what it’s worth, we’re getting a significant downpour in Southeast San Diego County at the moment. But I think you’re right, it’s not going to make it that far north.

Jimena could make it worse as it sucks air to its center.

The local Palm Springs TV weather dude tells us we can expect some more humidity here in the southern desert, but not to bank on any spritz. Too bad - other than a freak (and very localized) 1/4” a week and a half ago, we haven’t had a teetotaler’s piss since around Christmas.
