Hilary expected to weaken before moving close to California.
The hurricane center said Hilary “has the potential to bring significant impacts to the Baja California Peninsula and portions of the southwestern United States this weekend and early next week, including after it becomes post-tropical.”
The National Weather Service in San Diego was keeping a close eye on Hilary on Thursday and said the storm could “bring a significant surge of monsoonal and tropical moisture with widespread heavy rainfall, especially for Sunday into Monday, and a high potential for flash flooding in the mountains and deserts.”
As of 7 a.m. CDT Thursday, the center of Hurricane Hilary was located about 560 miles south-southeast of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and was tracking to the west-northwest at 13 mph. Hilary had winds of 75 mph, making it a Category 1 hurricane. The hurricane center’s intensity forecast shows Hilary peaking with 130 mph winds in about 48 hours. That would make it a Category 4 hurricane.The hurricane center said Hilary could turn toward the northwest by Friday morning, followed by a turn toward the north-northwest and north on Saturday. On that track, the center of Hilary will approach the Baja California peninsula over the weekend.
