The U.S. National Hurricane Center says Hilary had maximum sustained winds of 120 mph early Thursday evening, making it a Category 3 hurricane. It is expected to grow into a Category 4 hurricane Friday.
MEXICO CITY — Hurricane Hilary strengthened into a major storm Thursday evening off Mexico’s Pacific coast, and it could bring heavy rain to the southwestern U.S. by the weekend.
The storm was expected to grow into a Category 4 hurricane Friday while 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.No tropical storm has made landfall in Southern California since Sept. 25, 1939, according to the National Weather Service.
The area potentially affected by heavy rainfall could stretch from Bakersfield, California, to Yuma, Arizona, as well as some parts of southern Nevada.
