Hopefully it will affect the static heat wave that has piled on top of the rest of the country to bring some needed thermal relief.
It seems like every year California has their fire season, followed by their rain storms, followed by landslides on the burnt-out, no vegetation hill sides.
Hurricane Hillary… oh the irony!

Oddly, I found this and copied it from the NWS in Las Vegas just now:
Hurricane Hilary continues to dominate the forecast interest across the Desert Southwest. Forecast tracks for Hilary remain very consistent run-to-run with regard to location with only subtle shifts westward, but have sped up somewhat with regard to timing.
Hurricane Hilary`s center of circulation will push northward along the western coast of Baja California, rapidly weakening as it moves over land. To reiterate what the previous forecast discussion noted, this is a very unusual circumstance for our forecast area. Similar tropical systems from our past include: Norbert (2014), Nora (1997),
and Kathleen (1976).
So, I call 🐂💨💩
As of 6:00MT it was still a Cat 4 Hurricane.
Not showing up on US Radar yet.
PMZ001-191030- Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico 321 PM PDT Fri Aug 18 2023
https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/marine/forecast/enhanced_epac.php
.SYNOPSIS...Major Hurricane Hilary is centered near 18.7N 112.2W
at 2 PM PDT, and is moving northwest at 10 kt. Maximum sustained
winds are 115 kt with gusts to 140 kt, and the minimum central
pressure is 948 mb. Hilary is forecast to maintain intensity as
it moves to near 20.3N 113.2W late tonight, then begin to
gradually weaken as it turns to the north-northwest tonight
and approaches 22.6N 114.1W Sat afternoon, near 25.6N 115.0W
late Sat night with maximum winds 85 kt gusts 105 kt, to near
29.4N 116.1W early Sun afternoon with maximum sustained winds 65
kt gusts 80 kt, then move inland and weaken to a tropical storm
near 34.1N 117.3W late Sun night and to a post-tropical cyclone
well north of the area by early Mon afternoon before dissipating
on Tue. Very rough seas and tropical storm conditions are
expected in the Gulf of California this upcoming weekend. Fresh
to strong N winds are forecast in the Gulf of Tehuantepec at
night through Sun night. Looking ahead, a broad area of low
pressure could form offshore of the coast of southern Mexico
early next week. Some gradual development of this system is
possible thereafter while it moves slowly toward the west-
northwest or northwest, generally parallel to the coast of
southern and southwestern Mexico.
It’s relative to the fact they now have such watches and warnings in place. It would not be the first ever if these systems have been in place the last time it was hit by tropical cyclones.
Yes. They exchange the title “hurricane” and “typhoon” if they cross over that line. I believe one went back and forth a couple of times.
Wow, that’s an impressive website! Thanks. Hope somehow there won’t be any flooding in California...
Thanks for that info. You’re probably right. Hope somehow there won’t be any or much flooding in California as a result of Hillary...
As others on this thread have suggested, all the hype on this one may be fear porn. Still, Hillary may bring lots of rain to CA. Hope there won't be much flooding...
Yikes. Wishing the best for you and yours...
The weather forecast on tv here is about lots of rain.....
What rain? Less then 4” is not a lot and this from a hurricane / tropical storm 🌀
In the desert above Santa Clara they predict 4” to 6”
I am above Burbank less then 20 miles.
We have had more rain in the past and just from a normal rain storm.
Gerald is covering Hurricane Hilary on his Agenda Free YouTube Channel.
Those who do not give real caution to the Flood/Flash Flood WARNINGS will be putting themselves in Life-Threatening situations. The NWS has said these flash floods will develop quicker than expected in the Warning Zones!!!
THE WEAKENING OF THE HURRICANE WINDS -—DOES NOT-— REDUCE THE RAINFALL HAZARDS.
