Tropical Storm Hilary has spun up in the Pacific off Mexico’s coast and could pummel Southern California early next week.
Hilary is moving west-northwest about 470 miles from Manzanillo, Mexico, with top winds of 40 miles per hour, the US National Hurricane Center said in an 8 a.m. advisory. The five-day track for the storm potentially carries it into Southern California as a post-tropical system by Monday, although forecasts that far out may be inaccurate.
“Hilary has the potential to bring impacts to the Baja California peninsula and portions of the southwestern United States this weekend,” according to an analysis by Samantha Camposano and Lisa Bucci, forecasters at the center. “Although it is too soon to determine the location and magnitude of rainfall and wind impacts, interests in these areas should monitor the progress of Hilary...”

here in L A hopefully it will dissipate our high fire danger this time of year - without serious flooding. tropical storms rarely get this far north.
Haha, l love national joke day!
Good.
It will wobble and collapse before it ever gets there.
I always knew Hilary was an old wind-bag, California wants her, they can have her.

And candidate Hillary threatens to run for President in 2024.
Can’t they just toss it in a van like a sack of potatoes?
.
I’ve been through dozens of storms. None w/ flying ashtrays though.
How awful
It’s going to rain in California
“...tropical storms rarely get this far north.”
Can’t help but notice there have been NO hurricanes so far in this....predicted to be more hurricanes than normal... hurricane season which started June 30.
Peak is around Labor Day.
The last hurricane to hit Southern California was a category 1 storm in 1939. It caused a few fatalities and took out several piers. I have a recording of a broadcast of the Old Fashioned Revival Hour, a religious program, that took place during the storm. The performers and crew had to work by candlelight, but they were able to complete it.
Seriously. “Threaten” is not a word I would use in the headline. People in other parts of the country might not realize that not one drop has fallen, except in the high mountains, since the last storm in April or May. In the absence of big fires that leave the ground bare and might lead to mudslides, this should be a welcome development. The remainder of the storm is forecast to continue to slide north to us here in Northern California where we too can use it
More likely in El Nino years for them to be able to...though still rare.
