Hurricane Hilary continues her march toward Baja California, and people on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border are getting ready for projected heavy rains and flooding.
A flash flood risk map associated with Hurricane Hilary, as it approaches Southern California on Sunday.Flood watches are in effect from Mexico, north to Ventura, and inland to western Arizona, as torrential rains from what remains of Hurricane Hilary are expected to impact the West Coast and Southwest through the weekend.
Daniel Swain, a climate scientist at the University of California, Los Angeles, says some inland desert areas could see upward of 5 to 10 inches of rain. There was one storm in 1939 that held its tropical storm strength until it got to San Diego, but that's it. This weather is very unusual for the region.
The National Weather Service says"flash, urban and arroyo flooding is expected, with the potential for rare and dangerous impacts."
