Hurricane Kay is forecast to continue smiting Southern California and Baja through the weekend.
The massive weather event is currently tracking up Mexico’s Pacific coast, bringing extreme heat to California and downpours through Mexico, according to CNN. Tropical storm warnings were issued throughout the peninsula but the storm is expected to turn west, heading toward San Diego by Saturday.
Two to six inches of rain could hit southern areas of California, and a storm surge could lead to coastal flooding and other onshore hazards, according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC). Satellite imagery of the storm shared online shows the eye forming near Baja, spreading up the coast toward the U.S.
“Strengthening is forecast during the next 36 hours, and Kay could become a major hurricane during that time,” the NHC continued. “It should be noted that Kay is a fairly large hurricane with its tropical-storm-force winds (39 mph+) estimated to extend outward up to 175 miles from the center.”
Despite the potential for heavy rain over the weekend, excessive heat is anticipated as far north as San Francisco through Los Angeles, even during the night, CNN noted. The heat has already led to one significant wildfire around the Los Angeles area, which killed two and threatened more than 1,500 homes in the first weekend of September, fueled by erratic wind and dry conditions.
You just can't satisfy some people!.....................
(For those of you in Rio Linda, that was sarcasm.)
I saw what you did there ;) I miss that man!!
oh no. power outages and mudslides. MAGA extremists!
Oh, I know. I told a friend of mine in San Diego that he won’t need air conditioning if his roof blows off. He said it was starting to sound like a good idea.

The winds aren’t that strong.

It’s a blistering 81 degrees inside the storm.
Sounds more like a nice shower rather than the end of the world.
It will be a good thing.
Climate change. It can happen and it’s happened before.
If you enjoy history, especially a look at early California history, I can recommend Richard Henry Dana’s book “Two Years Before the Mast”. It describes his trip around the Horn to California to trade in leather for New England’s shoe factories in the 1830s.
But what has this to do with a hurricane hitting California? Well, one problem with trading with California back in the day was the lack of sheltered harbors between San Diego and San Francisco. Dana describes how years before he was there, hurricanes from the southeast were a common occurrence, but had stopped some time before. The climate had changed around 1800.
Perhaps it’s just reverting back to its old norm.
Hope the storm reaches a little farther north ‘cause I’m not allowed to water my yard anymore.
What happened to A through J? I haven’t heard of any hurricanes this year. Isn’t that what they were talking about for August, how we hadn’t even had one yet?
Hurricane?
I thought Pacific storms were typhoons?
Regardless, we can use the rain.
So, good ol’ SoCal, the folks that made hay when Louisiana vot hit hard with hurricanes, ad the folks that did a bad job of ‘Cajuns’ in alligator horror movies, now are getting a taste of a burricane.
smallest violin in the world, playing my heart bleeds.
Pacific storms have a separate naming list from the Atlantic side (and Hurricane Earl is now ramping up to harrass shipping on the central-northern Atlantic).
The typhoon designation applies to the same kind of storm but t on the other side of the Pacific.
Happens every couple of years.
We caught a piece of one in Phoenix about 3 years ago.
Dropped 6” of rain on my home.
The trees loved it!
The National Hurricane Center forecast shows it to be missing California and turning out into the ocean. Baja California (part of Mexico) will get a glancing blow.

This is the correct response. Surf is UP, Dude!
You know the planetary freaks will be going postal over this.
It will prove to them that everything they have predicted is
coming true.
Nuts on parade, somewhere near us all...
“We’re having a Drought!” “We’re having a Wildfire!” “We’re having a Flood!”

You forgot mudslides after the rains.
Eastern pacific storms have a different set of names than Atlantic..................
