Tropical Storm Hilary Threatens California with Heavy Rain and Flash Floods

Former hurricane Hilary, now a tropical storm, is forecasted to hit Los Angeles this weekend with tropical storm-force winds and heavy rain. This rare occurrence is due to warmer ocean temperatures caused by this year's El Niño event. The track of the storm remains uncertain, but there is a potential for significant rainfall and high surf. Residents should monitor the situation closely, as there may be isolated flooding and gusty winds.
