Hurricane Hilary

Hurricane Hilary will not pose a threat to the United States, but it is already doing so for our neighbors to our south. Hilary is a category-4 storm as of this writing with 135 mph maximum sustained winds, located just offshore of the southwest coast of Mexico. It's moving to the WNW at 9 mph, and should stay offshore. Still, tropical storm warnings are in effect for portions of southwest Mexico due to heavy rains and high surf. Hilary will eventually weaken as it encounters the cooler waters of the open Pacific by sometime next week.
