Tropical Weather Mexico
(Los Angeles, CA) – Hurricane Hilary is now a category four storm, with wind speeds of up to 140 miles per hour recorded — as it bears down on the Southern California coast.
The storm is expected to weaken as it moves inland near San Diego, which could see hurricane force winds, very heavy rain, and flooding.
Forecasters say the heaviest rain will be Sunday night into Monday morning, with as much as seven inches of rain falling in parts of the region.
