Hilary strengthened into a Category 2 hurricane off Mexico's Pacific coast Thursday, and it could bring heavy rain to the U.S. southwest by the weekend.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center said that Hilary had maximum winds of 105 mph and could perhaps skim the coast of the Baja California peninsula by the weekend.
It was expected to become a major hurricane by Friday and perhaps skim the sparsely populated western edge of the Baja coast. The hurricane center said it could possibly survive briefly as a tropical storm 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 wrote in a report. "Flash, urban, and arroyo flooding is possible with the potential for significant impacts."
