It hit Baha peninsula and has already degraded to a tropical storm per a local radio broadcast that had an actual meteorologist, not a journalist doing the reporting. Also, pretty standard, since those “hurricanes” approach from the southwest (warm waters) and then hit much colder waters. Oh well, getting believable science from journalism majors is akin to getting a complete sentence from Creepy Joe or the Ho.
As of 6:00MT it was still a Cat 4 Hurricane.
Not showing up on US Radar yet.

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

near 34.1N 117.3W late Sun night and to a post-tropical cyclone

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.
