Looks like I'm gonna get wet, starting tomorrow night.  The last heavy storm, I never lost WiFi, so knock on wood that I don't need to switch my Verizon hotspot on.

Hunker down and be safe.  Prayers up that it blows itself out sooner rather than later.

That map shows us outside of the "cone of uncertainty," but when Hilary hits landfall in Baja California she will start spreading out, and we are on the east side of that (the "brunt.").  We expect significant rainfall.

Where am I?  Look at where Nevada narrows down to a point, where AZ, CA and NV join.  When I go to the cig store on the Res in Nevada, we are about 4 miles from the California border.

I heard the weather people on TeeVee say Palm Springs is expecting 5 inches.  I won't get that, but it will be plenty.  Good thing we got groceries a couple days ago.

The Saharan dust is supposed to settle into the Atlantic next week, so we may have some named storms in that region once Hilary is dead.

Hilary has now become a Category 2 hurricane

One of the comments on that story:

They don’t know where hurricane Hillary came from because somehow its previous path was deleted. They say it swung past Epstein‘s island. There was another storm next to it that tried to alert officials about the storm, but somehow that storm killed itself.

Hurricane Hilary now major hurricane with ‘significant’ impacts expected in California, Southwest

By Steven Yablonski, FOX Weather
August 18, 2023

Hurricane Hilary rapidly intensified into a Category 3 cyclone on Thursday, and forecasters said that the hurricane’s path means the storm could bring “significant” impacts to Southern California and the Southwest by the weekend and into the first part of next week.

According to the National Hurricane Center (NHC), rapid intensification occurs when a tropical cyclone’s maximum sustained winds increase by at least 35 mph in a 24-hour period.

“Rainfall impacts from Hilary within the Southwestern United States are expected to peak this weekend into Monday,” the NHC said in an advisory. “Flash, urban and arroyo flooding is possible with the potential for significant impacts.”

Ocean water temperatures off the coast of California remain cool, so influence should diminish the intensity of Hurricane Hilary if the forecast track brings the storm to the Golden State.

What forecasters are keeping an eye on will be the abundant tropical moisture that could be flowing into California, Nevada and Arizona.

Hurricane Hilary live updates: Category 4 storm barrels toward California
The National Weather Service warned that the hurricane was expected to bring “significant impacts” to the Southwestern U.S. this weekend into early next week.

What to know about the Category 4 storm

    *Hurricane Hilary strengthened to a Category 4 storm early Friday and is expected to weaken before reaching California.
    *The National Weather Service warned the system was expected to bring "significant impacts" to the Southwest this weekend into early next week.
    *Hilary reached maximum sustained winds of 140 miles per hour as of early Friday, according to the National Hurricane Center.
    *If the system makes landfall in California as a tropical storm, it will be a rarity. The last time this happened in the past century was in Long Beach in 1939 ...

I am glad to see you on this thread...I am in the target now, and it went to a 4 overnight, a 3 was expected.  I got some rain last night, but it was not related to Hilary.  Monsoons are also starting to arrive.  And the track shifted a bit to the East.  The storms may converge here.

BUT, all y'all are ready... And a cat 4 is a worry to you.

L.A. ain't ready. Their buildings ain't ready. Their people ain't ready. This is gonna suck for wherever this makes landfall. When's the last time there has been a serious cyclone at Cali's door?

What was the last hurricane to hit California?
News of Hurricane Hilary barreling toward Southern California has drawn reminders of "El Cordonazo," a tropical storm that hit the state almost 84 years ago. "El Cordonazo," which made landfall in Long Beach in September 1939, is the last tropical storm recorded in California.1 hour ago

I'm just hoping that this will be a quiet hurricane season for FL.  We could use a break.

Temps have dropped down today to 84.  Definitely some cooling off.
