A strengthening Hurricane Hilary was near major storm status off Mexico's Pacific coast Thursday, and it could bring heavy rain to the southwestern U.S. by the weekend.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center said Hilary had maximum winds of 110 mph at midafternoon, just 1 mph below a Category 3 storm. It was on a projected path that threatened landfall on the central Baja California peninsula by Sunday or possibly keep just offshore while heading for Southern California.
The hurricane center said that as Hilary moves onto or brushes the Baja pensinsula, it could possibly survive briefly as a tropical storm or tropical depression and cross the U.S. border. “Rainfall impacts from Hilary within the Southwestern United States are expected to peak this weekend into Monday,” the hurricane center said. “Flash, urban, and arroyo flooding is possible with the potential for significant impacts.”
