Hilary is expected to become a tropical storm over California

The storm’s path is also expected to cross the southwestern United States.

But the storm could still cause “devastating damage,” the US hurricane center NHC reports. The damage can thus be similar to that from a hurricane according to the NHC.

Mexican authorities urge residents mainly in Baja California to be prepared for the storm and subsequent risks of damage after strong winds and flooding.

During Sunday morning local time, Sunday evening Swedish time, Hilary moves towards the southern part of California and Nevada, and is then expected to have the strength of a tropical storm.
