From this NTD article here, yesterday:

Hilary Becomes a Major Hurricane, May Bring ‘Significant Impacts’ to US Southwest | NTD

By Jack Phillips August 17, 2023

“Hilary is forecast to approach the Baja Peninsula of California on Aug. 19..

A forecast model shows that the storm may weaken to a tropical storm by the time it hits Southern California early on Aug. 21. The storm then may ease to a tropical depression by early on Aug. 22.”

“A tropical storm, Hilary, became a hurricane early on Aug. 17 off Mexico’s Pacific coast, and later rapidly strengthened into a major hurricane, as forecasters warned that it has the potential to bring devastating rainfall and high winds to Southern California and the southwestern United States by the end of the week.”

“Weakening Hurricane Hilary is forecast to intensify this week into a Category 4 hurricane with 130-mile-per-hour winds. The storm is expected to weaken significantly before it reaches Southern California.

As of 8:00 p.m. ET Aug. 17, Hurricane Hilary reached maximum sustained winds of 120 miles per hour (195 kilometers per hour), which makes it a Category 3 hurricane, or a major hurricane, on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. It was located about 445 miles (715 kilometers) south of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.”

Fingers crossed Hilary doesn’t turn nasty!!!
