As California braces for potential impacts of Hurricane Hilary, people in some parts of Arizona area also getting ready for what could be a lot of rain as a result of the storm.
As Hurricane Hilary continues to make its way north towards the U.S. from waters off the Pacific coast of Mexico, Arizonans are preparing for the possibility that the state could feel the impacts from the storm.
"Potentially four to six inches or higher," said Sean Benedict, the Lead Meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Phoenix, in reference to the potential for rain in parts of California. "In that three-day time span, that amount of rainfall would be equivalent to one or two years' worth of that normal annual rainfall for those areas."
"You don’t often see a land-falling tropical cyclone in the U.S. on the West Coast," said Sean Benedict, the Lead Meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Phoenix.
