Dustin dorsey has a look at what we can expect. California had many days looked and felt like we were in the middle of a Tropical Storm or hurricane, but this weekend, hurricane hillary is about to show us what it is actually like. Hurricanes in the eastern pacific that become strong are not rare at all. This is pretty typical in that regard, especially since we are in an el nino season, the season tends to be very active, the unique thing is this track toward Southern California. As the hurricane strengthens to a major hurricane, we forecast warm ocean water and low pressure will slingshot it up behind cap 40. Late this weekend it will likely weaken to a Tropical Storm and make landfall along the Southern California sign. You dont often hear them hitting on the west coast. This is really significant, this would be the first potential tropical system to make landfall in california in more than 80 years. You can really see why a lot of people are very interested in this pretty rare event. The biggest hazard will be rainfall in Southern California. Does it areas like pump screens that only palm springs could average several inches of rain that could lead to serious flooding. The National Hurricane Center Deputy director says how much depends on how strong hillary is when she makes landfall. If its peninsula, it could weaken more than we anticipate, likewise, if it moves more offshore and has more of a glancing blow for baja, then it might not begin as much. What might this mean for the bay area . Northern california should avoid rainfall from the storm. If you thought it was sticky and humid recently, you will notice that the committee is back up again next week, we have tropical clouds overhead.

Large swells, downpours, flooding rain expected from parts of mexico and cabo san lucas, the bob peninsula. It will continue to head northward, and as it does, it starts to lose steam as it requires that warm, moist air, as i mentioned, it could make landfall as a Tropical Storm or a depression into Southern California early next week. Right now, the projected path is taking it northward, a little bit away from the bay area, but a slight shift this way could mean a lot more rain than what we are expecting. Lets take a look at the excessive rainfall projections. Between sunday and monday, sunday, we go for a higher risk down around the deserts and as we head towards monday, marginal risk starting to appear right around the central coast. We are not out of the woods in terms of rainfall. Heres a look at the computer projection, and as you will notice on monday we do have an opportunity for seeing wet weather if you buy this model, certainly drenching rain for Southern California and parts of the sierra will get soaked soaked as we headed to tuesday, that rain chance continues. Read fall projections with this model are from 11. 11 the bulk of the precipitation anywhere from two inches to over five inches of rain around palm springs and this, of course, means flooding potential. We have flood watches going up this weekend, continuing all the way until monday evening for much of the southwestern United States. He in the bay area it is quieter, but we did have an isolated thunderstorm developed new Mount Hamilton earlier this afternoon. It has since dissipated. Were going to keep that in the forecast going into tomorrow as well. Heres why.

Stay tuned. Dew points are still in the 50s and 60s, muggy and humid. Unfortunately, its not going to get that much better tomorrow afternoon. It will get even cooler than what are right now. 12 degrees cooler in livermore, down 10 in santa rosa. 60s coast side as we look the pier 39 camera, sea lions and visitors enjoying you can see cloudy skies there, isolated showers and thunder tonight, pulling continues, still muggy tomorrow, cloudy and humid monday and tuesday, still a chance of showers in the forecast.

Focus on where your feet are, coaches say, because that is where you are right now. Don nelson has left on maui fulltime for more than a decade, three decades if you count the backandforth part of the year. He has multiple properties and a variety of businesses on maui, but since the wildfires have wiped out lahaina, they have been focusing on all they can do to help the people of maui. The fires stopped a little more than a mile away from nelsons property, so we he and his family sprang into action, opening their units for families to stay free of charge. Currently, they are hosting six families, 24 people, and all of their pets. Nelsons daughter also has a wedding venue down the street and they have turned that into a food kitchen. They are serving 1000 meals per day. Its a worse thing that has ever happened in my life. I have lived here for 30 years. Its not just maui, its my entire life, ive never seen devastation like this. Ive been to vietnam, work with the military and the soldiers and the hospitals, a lot of things, ive been to a lot of trauma areas, but i have never seen devastation to such a pivotal community. We need a lot of help and a lot of people, just on the island, but on the mainland. Don and his wife were asked to share asked us to share this list of charities, maui strong, the hawaii for Community Community foundation, the Humane Society and the food bank, all doing great work, and they need all the help they can get. It was great spending a few minutes with him, 83 years old, you can see the tan. He had several businesses, last time i talk to him, he was fired up about his shaped ice and coffee business, and all of that is put to the side to focus on helping those people and those families. He has multiple properties and open them up and said hey. Its fantastic. The world needs more people like him. Good for him. Awesome.
