Hurricane Kay might help trigger wildfires in San Diego County then douse them with heavy rain
San Diego County might be about to experience a meteorological chain reaction in which the heat wave briefly regains strength, then gives way to perilous Santa Ana winds that are quickly followed by rain heavy enough to cause mudslides.
The National Weather Service came up with the scenario on Tuesday while trying to figure out what Kay, a newly formed hurricane off Mexico, is going to do to the weather in Southern California through the weekend. Kay is currently south of Cabo San Lucas, where its is slowly moving northwest on a path that could take it a long way up the coast of Baja California.
The hurricane, which will weaken as it moves into cooler water, is “not expected to make a direct hit on San Diego,” said Alex Tardy, a weather service forecaster. But he said the system might help produce Santa Ana winds out of the east that would whip across the drought-stricken landscape of San Diego County, where temperatures are expected to hit the 90s and low 100s in many places on Wednesday and Thursday.The Santa Anas are expected to arrive on Thursday night and early Friday.
