Hot weather brings desert wild animals at night to my water drip pans that I keep for the birds.

[William Terry Hunefeld @thunefeld]

Daniels use of the words “genuinely alarming” are alarming.

[Daniel Swain @Weather_West]

Flood risk from #Hilary in SE California deserts is genuinely alarming. Widespread & possibly destructive flash flooding is possible. This has high potential to be a historic flood event in this region. See attached screenshot of @NWSPhoenix forecast discussion from this AM.#CAwx

[William Terry Hunefeld @thunefeld]

YAY!!! Mud!!! We ❤️ desert MUD!!😎👍

[Tomer Burg @burgwx]

Forecast confidence is increasing in a very unusual scenario where Tropical Storm Hilary impacts southwest California, particularly the San Diego & Los Angeles metros, with direct impacts.

I'll go more in-depth into the driving factors & potential impacts for CA in this thread.

[Daniel Swain @Weather_West]

@burgwx I do think there's about a 20-30% chance the NHC ends up using a tropical storm watch for far southern coastal SoCal for a cyclone rapidly transitioning asymmetric warm core system...which would be as close as we've come since 1939!

[William Terry Hunefeld @thunefeld]

Will hurricane Hillary send us great-for-tracking MUD to SoCal? We can only hope 😎
