Let’s chat about Tropical Storm Hilary. We will see an increase in thunderstorm coverage and flood threats as moisture surges ahead of Hilary later this week through the weekend. While the main circulation (and likely the remnants of Hilary as well) will stay well west of our area, moisture surging ahead of Hilary may have a big impact on our weather. There’s a great amount of uncertainty at this time on the final track and impacts of the storm, but stay tuned as the forecasts (and threats) become clearer with time. Any questions? Don’t hesitate to put them in the comments!
