Hilary became a hurricane on Thursday and will likely strike Mexico's Baja California peninsula this weekend, but can a U.S. landfall be ruled out?
Forecasters say Hurricane Hilary could bring a"potentially tremendous amount of rain" to the Southwestern United States early next week.
The National Hurricane Center expects Hilary to become a major hurricane by the weekend. Forecasters expect it to come ashore on Mexico's Baja California peninsula and continue moving to the north, eventually making its way to Southern California and possibly Arizona. While land and cool waters generally cause storms to fizzle before reaching the Southwestern U.S., forecasters said Hilary could bring tropical storm conditions to the area early next week.
