Hurricane Hilary currently has winds of 120 mph. The eye is well-defined with some healthy convection around the center. It's looking a little ragged on the edges, which is usually a sign of some shearing.
Most of the computer data has it moving along the western coastline of the Baja. Hilary will continue to weaken as it moves into colder waters.
Some outer bands of rain could reach San Diego on Saturday. A quick shower or downpour could pop up at any point, though it won't be a washout.
A better chance for rain arrives Sunday as the core of the storm moves closer. The best chance for more consistent periods of rain and downpours will arrive Sunday evening/night through early Monday.
As with any tropical system, rain totals will be greatly impacted by the track of the storm. The slightest shift could reduce the computer projected rain totals I've posted below. Right now, the projection shows over 2" of total rain in San Diego.
Although most of this rain will quickly rush back into the ocean, it will be nice to get some rainfall back into the area.
I'll post an update tomorrow or Saturday morning, especially if it looks like there will be a change in storm track.
