Tropical Storm Hilary continues to be the main focus for Los Angeles weather.
Here is the latest forecast info for Tropical Storm Hilary:
- Hilary forecast to become a major hurricane Friday night.
- Hilary is forecast to impact southern CA as a tropical storm on Monday.
- 20-30% chance tropical storm-force winds, beginning as early as Sunday evening.
Here is the forecast total rainfall expected from the system. Widespread 1-3 inch (local 4 inch) totals across Ventura/LA counties with a bit less across San Luis Obispo/Santa Barbara counties.
Currently Tropical Storm Hilary is located about 370 miles to the south of Manzanillo, Mexico, and is moving to the west-northwest at 15 mph with maximum sustained winds of 40 mph. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) says Tropical Storm Hilary is expected to continue to spin off to the west-northwest with a gradual turn to the northwest in a day or so. The NHC says steady to rapid strengthening is forecast over the next few days and Hilary is expected to become a hurricane on Thursday.
Large swells generated by Tropical Storm Hillary will affect portions of the coast of southwestern Mexico and the Baja California Peninsula over the next few days. Those swells, according to the NHC, are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip currents.
