Hurricane Hilary has is now rated a Category 4 hurricane with 145 mph maximum winds and is expected to approach a near Category 5 strength before it begins to weaken over the weekend.

The Hurricane is expected to make landfall very late Sunday night and Monday morning in southern California somewhere between Los Angeles and San Diego as a tropical storm with perhaps 45 to 60 mph winds. This would make this the first tropical storm to make landfall in Southern California since 1939. A current Tropical Storm Watch has been issued for California and covers the southern part of the state, including San Diego and Catalina Island.

For those in the projected path of Hurricane Hilary, please listen to local authorities, safely continue with storm preparation plans, and evacuate immediately if asked to do so.
