How will Hurricane Hilary impact the High Desert? Rene Ray De La Cruz Hurricane Hilary is expected to batter Southern California and the High Desert, which could see the majority of its annual rainfall in just 48 hours. Batten down the hatches, Hurricane Hilary could soon hit Southern California and the High Desert, which may receive the majority of its annual rainfall in just 48 hours. Tropical-storm-force winds and heavy rain are expected to arrive Sunday and Monday in the Victor Valley, where temperatures could drop into the 70s, the National Weather Service reported. Forecasters estimate 2 to 4 inches of rain in some areas of the Victor Valley and 5 to 7 inches in the San Bernardino Mountains. Victorville is expected to receive 2.5 inches of rain from Saturday to Monday, which is significant since its average rainfall is approximately 3.9 inches per year. As the storm moves north, the majority of the rain is expected in the mountains and east of Lucerne Valley, however, the trajectory of the storm could change, forecasters said. Lucerne Valley, which receives 11 to 14 inches of rain annually is expected to receive 3 to 4 inches during the storm. Hurricane Hilary on NOAA satellite Thursday afternoon. Hilary is expected to make landfall over or near the Baja California Peninsula on Sunday, then move over California as a tropical depression on Sunday night and Monday. Sand bags Town of Apple Valley spokeswoman Sarah Krieg told the Daily Press that the Apple Valley Fire Protection District has sandbags and sand ready for residents to pick up starting Thursday and throughout the weekend. Those resources are available at Fire Station 331 at 22400 Headquarters Drive in Apple Valley. The fire chief said sandbags are available during normal business hours but are otherwise subject to the station crew's availability, Krieg said. Residents should check with their local municipality to see if they may obtain free sandbags. San Bernardino County Fire officials said the county offers free sandbags and sand, and they strongly urge residents to use them. County fire stations maintain only a limited supply of sandbags to be used during an emergency and homeowners should not depend on that supply. Flood watch San Bernardino County Fire officials stated that beginning Sunday through Monday, flooding is possible throughout the county with an increased risk for residents near the El Dorado Fire and Apple Fire burn scars. A flood watch has been issued for the local mountains and deserts from 11 a.m. Saturday through 5 p.m. Monday. If Hilary does make landfall in California, it would be the first tropical storm to do so since 1939. Hilary’s eye is expected to make landfall near the southern border around noon on Monday. Hilary was upgraded from a tropical storm to a hurricane Thursday morning off the coast of Mexico as it continues to "intensify rapidly," meteorologists said. The hurricane could also potentially bring “significant impacts” to parts of Southwestern U.S. this weekend, including heavy rain, strong winds and flash flooding in the Baja California Peninsula and Southern California, according to the National Hurricane Center. A burst of rain on Wednesday, flooded some areas of Apple Valley and Hesperia. Hurricane Hilary is expected to bring heavy rain to Southern California and the High Desert on Sunday and Monday. Cajon Pass and Las Vegas travelers Those traveling through the Cajon Pass and near Las Vegas should be cautious of heavy rain especially along Interstate 15 between Barstow and Las Vegas where flooding has previously occurred. The Victor Valley got a sneak peek of the storm's coming attractions on Wednesday afternoon as a burst of rain flooded streets in some areas of Apple Valley and Hesperia. “It was clear skies in the morning, then it got cloudy in the afternoon,” Carol Vinton told the Daily Press. “We heard thunder, saw a flash of lightning and then our dry backyard became a lake in two minutes. Then it stopped raining and the skies cleared up.” State response On Thursday, state officials said they are closely monitoring the development of Hurricane Hilary and working to protect Californians who may be most at risk for the impacts of the storm. At Gov. Gavin Newsom’s direction, the Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) is coordinating across state government to support state and local preparations. A burst of rain on Wednesday, flooded some areas of Apple Valley and Hesperia. Hurricane Hilary is expected to bring heavy rain to Southern California and the High Desert on Sunday and Monday. Cal OES remains in constant communication with the National Hurricane Center, the National Weather Service, and county emergency management officials in the areas of the state that are in the path of this storm. The State Operations Center in Mather, California is already actively coordinating an early, unified, and orderly response across state agencies to surge resources to the impacted region in preparation for potential impacts and to support response and recovery efforts in the aftermath of the storm. |

Yeah, watching this storm here in the so. sierras. Thanks for putting it on everyone's radar. While it happens from time to time, it's still relatively rare to have a hurricane cross into California (or Arizona from the gulf) still as a tropical storm. As climate change warms the oceans and our cold current off the coast that protects us from these things, that protection is going to continue to break down more and more. |
