Summary

[edit]
Description
English: GOES-18 visible and infrared “sandwich” imagery of Category 4 Hurricane Hilary on Aug. 18, 2023. GOES-18 (GOES West) monitored Hurricane Hilary as it rapidly intensified into a Category 4 storm with maximum sustained winds of 145 mph on Aug. 18. That day, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) issued the first-ever tropical storm watch for Southern California. The Weather Prediction Center issued the first-ever level 4 (high risk) for flash flooding in the desert valleys of Southern California. After weakening to a tropical storm, Hilary made landfall in San Quintin, Baja California, on Aug. 20 and moved into Southern California hours later, bringing torrential rainfall, flooding and mudslides. Up to 10.5 inches of rain fell in Southern California, including around 2 to 3 inches in Los Angeles and San Diego, which set summer records. Hillary weakened into a post-tropical cyclone as it crossed the border into Nevada early on Aug. 21. Heavy rainfall and flooding are expected in parts of Arizona and Nevada. GOES-18 data helped forecasters monitor Hilary in real-time and track the storm and estimate its intensity.
