DETAILS OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS STEPHEN MORGAN WANT TO BRING YOU IN ON THIS. WE'RE EXPECTING IT TO RAPIDLY INTENSIFY, BUT WE COULD SEE ON THE BACKSIDE OF THIS RAPID WEAKENING SO BIG CHANGES IN SWINGS IN THIS FORECAST IN THE DETAILS OF THE STORM. IT'S GOING TO BE A BIG ROLLER COASTER FOR SURE. IN FACT, WHEN WE WERE LOOKING AT THOSE WINDS YESTERDAY AFTERNOON THIS WAS NOT GIVEN A TROPICAL DEPRESSION CLASSIFICATION. THIS WAS RIGHT OFF THE BAT TROPICAL STORM HILLARY WITH WINDS AT 40 MILES AN HOUR. WE LOOK AT THE WINDS RIGHT NOW AT 85 THAT IS TECHNICALLY RAPID INTENSIFICATION. SO THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE. RIGHT NOW. THOSE PRESSURES WILL BE IMPORTANT TO WATCH, TOO, BECAUSE AS THE STORM STRENGTHENS THAT DEEPENS AND THE WINDS THAT CONTINUE CLIMBS, IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN ALL DAY. AMY WHEN WE GET NEW DETAILS AND DATA ON THE STORM, LIKE THIS MOVEMENT WEST NORTHWEST AT 14 MILES OUR MORE THAN 300 MILES OFF THE COAST. AND WE KNOW THAT THIS RIGHT NOW IS YOU KNOW, WELL SOUTH OF CABO. THEY START TO TAKE THE DETAILS THAT WE HAVE. AND THEY STARTED ISSUE THE ALERTS. RIGHT SO WE'VE GOT A TROPICAL STORM WARNING NOW OUTSIDE OF CABO IS THAT IS THAT THE ALIGNMENT THAT WE'VE GOT HERE WITH THE STORM BECAUSE THAT LOOKS LIKE IT WOULD BE THE NEXT TROPICAL STORM. IT'S A WATCH GOING TO A WARNING WITH THE NUMBERS LIKE THIS, SO I'M SURE THE MAP WILL BE UPDATING HERE VERY QUICKLY, BUT THE REASON THAT THEY GET THE DETAILS ON THIS IS THEY WANT TO VERIFY WHAT TO EXPECT OUT OF THE STORM. I THINK WE NEED TO BE CLEAR. HURRICANE IS NOT COMING STRAIGHT TO LOS ANGELES. BUT AS A STORM CONTINUES TO INTENSIFY AND GAIN STRENGTH, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE HEADLINES OF MAJOR CATEGORY THREE OR STRONGER STORM COMING OUT OF HILLARY. EVEN IF IT WEAKENS THE ENORMOUS ENERGY AND MOISTURE AND WIND ALONG WITH THIS STORM IS WHAT EVENTUALLY IMPACT SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA THE SOUTHWEST , MAYBE EVEN INTO THE NORTHERN ROCKIES. SO YOU GET INTO THIS. NO SURPRISE. I THINK WHEN WE LOOK AT THE STEPHEN WHAT'S COME IN, BUT I DO SEE A LITTLE I FEEL LIKE IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF A SHIFT TO THE EAST, WHICH WAS THE TREND FROM LAST NIGHT. BECAUSE THAT INCLUDES A LITTLE BIT MORE OF CENTRAL NEVADA. UM CERTAINLY, OF COURSE, WE HAVE A LONGER TRACK WHEN WE GET MORE TIME INTO IT, BUT RIGHT NOW SAN DIEGO ELLIS STILL IN IT, RINOS IN IT THERE AND LAS VEGAS IS VERY CLOSE, BUT PERHAPS NOT QUITE WITH IT, BUT THAT'S GOING TO BE A TELLTALE SIGN. IF WE SEE THIS THING CONTINUE TO SHIFT, AMY, YOU HAD MENTIONED THOSE TROPICAL STORM WARNINGS. ALL OF THIS DATA THAT'S COMING IN FROM THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER. OUR GRAPHICS WILL BE POPULATING HURRICANE. HILLARY IS WELL ON ITS WAY TO BECOMING A MAN. MAJOR HURRICANE STILL LOOK AT THOSE WINDS BY SATURDAY MORNING 130 MILE PER HOUR WINDS. THAT'S ANOTHER CATEGORY FOUR HURRICANE IN THE EASTERN PACIFIC AND WITH THOSE WINDS WILL HAVE TO CAREFULLY WATCH THIS WIND FIELD BECAUSE IT'S NOT GOING TO BE JUST A STORM OR HURRICANE THAT AFFECTS THE IMMEDIATE COASTLINE. THERE ARE VARIABLES AT PLAY THAT WILL PROVIDE SOME RICH MOISTURE WELL TO THE NORTH. AS AS WE'RE LOOKING AT AT SOME KEY DIFFERENCES HERE, TROPICAL STORM WATCHES HAVE ALSO EXTENDED ALONG THE WESTERN COAST. MOST OF BAJA CALIFORNIA. WE'VE SEEN THAT AND LATER THIS AFTERNOON, THIS COULD BE A MAJOR HURRICANE. THAT MEANS CATEGORY THREE OR STRONGER AND IT BASICALLY FALLS IN LINE WHAT THE PACIFIC BASIN HAS BEEN DOING SO FAR THIS SEASON. IT WILL BE THE FORCE. MAJOR HURRICANE OF THE PACIFIC TROPICAL SEASON NOW WHAT IT DOES ON LAND, THOUGH, WILL BE PERHAPS THE BIGGEST HEADLINE BECAUSE WE'RE GETTING A WEST COAST IMPACT FROM A TROPICAL SYSTEM BEFORE THE EAST COAST. THIS IS PRETTY UNUSUAL FOLKS. NOT ONLY IS IT UNUSUAL AND RARE FOR US TO HAVE ANY SORT OF TROPICAL IMPACT FOR SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. IT'S NOT UNPRECEDENTED, BUT IT IS A VERY RARE SITUATION. WE LOOK BACK SORT OF THE RECENT HISTORY THEY'VE BEEN STORMS WITH THE LEFTOVERS GET CAUGHT UP IN THE PATTERN. BUT THIS IS THE WEATHER PATTERN THAT'S DIRECTING THE ENERGY FROM A TROPICAL SYSTEM DIRECTLY INTO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. OR WE COULD SEE 3 TO 5 INCHES OF RAINFALL BETWEEN SAN DIEGO AND YUMA TAKING OVER THE SANTA BARBARA MOUNTAINS DOWN ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN RANGE THERE UP INTO VEGAS . THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF MOISTURE FOR AREAS THAT DON'T GET RAIN THIS TIME OF YEAR. AND SOME PLACES ARE VERY LIMITED FOR THEIR ENTIRE ANNUAL RAINFALL GOING GOING THROUGH THE KEY POINTS IN THE DISCUSSION AT THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER OUT OF MIAMI HAS HAS JUST GIVEN US THEY HAVE INCREASED THOSE RAIN TOTALS FOR BAJA CALIFORNIA. WE'RE TALKING MAYBE UPWARDS OF 10 INCHES WORTH OF RAIN IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND NEVADA. WE COULD SEE ISOLATED AMOUNTS OF ABOUT EIGHT INCHES. THAT WOULD BE A BIG TIME RAIN EVENT. DESPITE WHAT ELSE WE MIGHT SEE. RAIN IS GOING TO BE A HUGE DEAL HERE, AND WE'LL ALSO SEE THESE OUTLOOKS INCREASED TO AMY WHEN WE WHEN WE LOOK AT SATURDAY SUNDAY INTO MONDAY, RAIN IS GOING TO START AS EARLY AS TOMORROW IN PORTIONS OF THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES. SOME OF THE MOISTURE WILL BE STREAMING IN AT THAT TIME . WHAT'S CONCERNING HERE , AND THE WEATHER PREDICTION CENTER GIVES THESE OUTLOOKS WILL BE AREAS WHERE WE DON'T
