The National Weather Service has issued a tornado warning for Alpine and Descanso in eastern San Diego County until 4 p.m. PDT on Sunday. This comes as Tropical Storm Hilary continues to move north after making landfall in the northern part of Mexico’s Baja California peninsula.
The storm is expected to bring heavy rainfall along its path from Sunday afternoon into Monday morning, according to the latest advisory from the National Hurricane Center. The storm is becoming scattered as it moves north, making it difficult to estimate an exact time of arrival.
Tropical Storm Hilary had strengthened to a Category 4 hurricane before weakening to a tropical storm prior to making landfall. The storm’s core arrived in Southern California sometime before 3 p.m. today, when it crossed the U.S.-Mexico border.
The National Hurricane Center has warned of potentially historic amounts of rainfall, which could cause life-threatening to catastrophic flash, urban, and arroyo flooding, including landslides, mudslides, and debris flows through early Monday morning.
Residents in the affected areas are advised to take necessary precautions and stay informed of the latest weather updates.
