'Kay is expected to produce rainfall totals of 6 to 10 inches with isolated maxima of 15 inches,' NHC stated.
A tropical wave in the eastern Pacific Ocean is barreling toward a potential landfall in Mexico and a skirting of the California coastline. Hurricane Kay is a Category 1 storm just south of the Baja California peninsula in northwest Mexico, as reported by the National Hurricane Center on Tuesday afternoon.
The coastline from the Baja up towards San Diego are under tropical storm watches and warnings, and storm surges could be much higher than typical storms. Huge swells are generated by Hurricane Marie along the southern California coastline on August 27, 2014 in Malibu, California. Hurricane Kay is approaching the California coast again in September 2022.The far west coast of Mexico's Baja California peninsula is expected to get battered by rains and high winds, and a potential landfall of Kay's center over the next few days.
"Rainfall totals of 2 to 4 inches are possible across northwestern portions of mainland Mexico. These rainfall amounts could lead to flash flooding, including landslides."The southernmost parts of California can expect high winds, heavy rains and strong storm surges even if Kay moves toward its northwestern trajectory. But with tropical systems, things could change and Kay could move inward, which would likely drench California.
