Hurricane Hilary, gaining ferocity on its march toward Southern California, is expected to strengthen to a Category 4 storm by landfall Friday night.
Long before Hurricane Hilary, ‘El Cordonazo’ or ‘the Lash of St. Francis’ devastated Long Beach and San Pedro in September 1939.“The most important thing will be the heavy rain, which will be widespread, and there’s a distinct risk of flash flooding,” Maxwell said.
A flood watch is set to take effect along the coast from Ventura to San Diego County from Sunday evening through Monday night. Inland counties such as Riverside, San Bernardino and Imperial will also have a flood watch in effect this weekend through Monday., with desert cities such as Palm Springs and Yuma, Ariz., expected to receive up to 5 inches in a matter of days.
“Generally speaking, coastal areas from Los Angeles to San Diego will likely get at least 2 inches of rainfall total, with the emphasis being Sunday through Monday,” Maxwell said. Mountain areas are expected to receive the highest amount of rainfall, particularly along east-facing slopes, as the storm approaches from the south. Maxwell estimates parts of Southern California could see 5 to 10 inches of rain.
