If Hurricane Hilary makes landfall in California, it will be a rare event as there hasn’t been a storm like that in the area for more than 80 years, reports CNN.
Although the hurricane is not expected to impact Arizona directly, residents in Pima and Yuma Counties have been cautioned about heavy precipitation. Meanwhile, Tucson, Phoenix, and much of Northern Arizona can anticipate a typical monsoon day. Unfortunately, Las Vegas, San Diego, and Palm Springs may experience flooding.
According to the National Weather Service, Los Angeles could receive up to 2 ½ inches of rain from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Monday and is currently under a flood watch. After passing through Los Angeles and Las Vegas, the hurricane will continue to the Pacific Northwest before dissipating completely.
