I apologize for any confusion. Here is the revised news without the unnecessary Note:
Hurricane Hilary threatens Southern California with flooding and strong winds
Residents of Southern California are bracing themselves as Hurricane Hilary approaches. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) has issued a Tropical Storm Watch for Orange, San Diego, Los Angeles counties, and Catalina Island. This is the first time that such a watch has been issued for this region, highlighting the potential severity of the storm.
Hurricane Hilary, currently a powerful Category 4 cyclone, is expected to make landfall along the Mexican coastline in the next 48 hours. Although it won’t directly hit the U.S. as a hurricane, the southwestern states and the Baja California Peninsula can expect to experience the after-effects, including heavy rainfall and strong winds.
The NHC advises residents in the storm’s path to monitor its progress and stay updated with the latest forecasts. They have also issued several warnings and watches for the Baja California Peninsula and parts of mainland Mexico. A Hurricane Warning has been issued, indicating that hurricane-force winds are expected within the watch area within the next 36 hours. There is also a Tropical Storm Warning, signaling the possibility of tropical-storm-force winds within the alerted area.
As Hurricane Hilary moves northwest at a speed of 12 mph, it is anticipated to turn toward the north-northwest on Friday. The storm is expected to approach the west coast of the Baja California Peninsula over the weekend and reach Southern California by Sunday night. The exact location and magnitude of the storm’s impact are still uncertain, so residents in the affected areas should closely follow updates from the NHC.
The potential effects of Hurricane Hilary include flooding and strong winds. While it is too early to determine the exact areas that will be affected, the NHC urges those in the path of the storm to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions. Coastal regions may also experience storm surge and coastal flooding, further adding to the potential dangers.
The National Weather Service has extended the Tropical Storm Watch to include inland cities such as Riverside, Palm Springs, San Bernardino, Victorville, Pine Valley, and Santa Clarita, indicating the broad scope of Hilary’s reach.
For more detailed information and updates about Hurricane Hilary, individuals are encouraged to visit the NHC’s website. It is essential for residents in at-risk areas to stay informed and well-prepared to minimize the potential impact of this powerful storm.
