Tropical storm watch issued for US-Mexico border as Hurricane Kay moves northwest toward Baja California
The National Hurricane Center has issued a tropical storm watch for the U.S.-Mexico border out of concern that Hurricane Kay will travel north along the Baja California peninsula and bring heavy rain to Southern California.
Forecasters say that it is likely that Kay will diminish and be a tropical storm by the time it reaches northern Baja California on Friday. But forecast models indicate that 0.75 inches of rain could fall along the San Diego County coast, and roughly twice that amount across inland valleys and foothills. And it is possible that some mountain areas could get as much as 6 inches of rain.
The rain is expected to begin late Friday night in San Diego County and last through most of Saturday. It will be preceded on Thursday and Friday by strong offshore winds that could gust 40 mph to 70 mph in Alpine and 30 mph to 40 mph in San Diego. Forecasters say the situation may turn out to be similar to what happened in 2015 when two tropical systems, Delores and Linda, brought heavy rain to Southern California.
