Tropical Storm Hilary is traveling north, leaving the county by 7:30 p.m. Sunday. Widespread wind and rainfall will remain for the evening, with mountain and desert communities expecting as much as 5-10" of total rainfall. Coastal and inland communities are have seen downpours as much as 2".
Rainfall chances 7:30 PM-12:30 AM:
Coast: 15-19%

There is a Tropical Storm Warning in effect for the entire county, upgraded from its previous status of a storm watch. A Flood Watch has also been issued for the entire county. With so much rain in a short time, flooding in low-lying areas will be a concern. We could also see land and mudslides along some mountain and desert terrain due to heavy rain.
Gusty winds will also be a threat. Isolated gusts along the mountains, valleys, and coastline could range between 30 to 70 mph. The strongest wind gusts are expected in our mountains and deserts. Strong winds could cause downed power lines and trees. It would help if you avoided travel this weekend, especially Sunday, due to hazardous road conditions.
High surf and strong rip currents will also be an issue for beachgoers. Please keep up with ABC10News Pinpoint Weather team as we continue to track Tropical Storm Hilary.
Monday's Highs:
Coast: 69-77
Inland: 73-79
