CONCERNING WHETHER EMBEDDED IN HILLARY AT THIS POINT IN TIME. AND WE ARE JUST GETTING STARTED WITH HILLARY. IT MAKES LANDFALL TODAY. THE WIND AND THE RAIN ADVANCE BASICALLY SIGNALED SOME OF THE IMPACTS, BUT IT'S YET TO COME THE BRUNT OF THIS STORM WINDS IN CABO AND THE OUTER BANDS OF HILLARY WERE ENOUGH TO CREATE A 67 MILE AN HOUR WINDOW, SMALL ISLAND OFF OF THE BAJA PENINSULA. WE ALSO HAVE REPORTS FROM LOCAL AUTHORITIES IN MEXICO THAT TRAGICALLY A DEATH HAS ALREADY COME FROM THE FLOODING OF FAMILY AND THEY WERE SWEPT OUT AND A MAN FROM THAT GROUP. DROWNED THE STRONG STORM THAT WE SAW YESTERDAY IS NOW WEAKENING. THE WIND REALLY CAN'T BE DISCOUNTED, EVEN THOUGH THE CATEGORIES GO DOWN, BUT THIS STORM REALLY WILL BE KNOWN FOR ITS UNPRECEDENTED MOISTURE AS IT MOVES INTO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. FOX WEATHER HURRICANE SPECIALIST BRYAN NORCROSS JOINS US WITH NEW ANALYSIS. I THINK WHEN I SAY UNPRECEDENTED, WHAT I'M REALLY REFERRING TO BRIAN IS WHEN WE SEE TROPICAL SYSTEMS COME THROUGH. IT'S USUALLY THE REMNANTS , THE LEFTOVERS THEY COULD HIT IN POCKETS. WE CAN SEE IMPACTS FROM THOSE STORMS, BUT A LARGE TROPICAL STORM LIKE THIS LOADED UP WITH MOISTURE IN RECENT HISTORY HAS NOT BEEN EXPERIENCED BY PEOPLE IN THE SOUTHWESTERN U. S. YEAH THERE'S REALLY IS A BUT THE ONLY PRESIDENT GOES BACK TO 1939 AS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT MANY TIMES, AND THAT CAME FROM A KIND OF DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS. SO EVEN THAT WASN'T EXACTLY THE SAME, ALTHOUGH THERE HAVE BEEN DYING TROPICAL SYSTEMS ARE REMNANTS OF TROPICAL SYSTEMS AFFECT SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. THIS IS A MORE EXTREME VERSION OF THAT IS THE IMPORTANT THING, AND I THINK ONE OF THE DIFFICULTIES THIS MORNING AMY IS THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT AND YOU LOOK AT THE SATELLITE AND YOU LOOK AND SAY, WOW, THAT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THAT INCREDIBLE, INTENSE HURRICANE. WE SAW YESTERDAY. NO IT DOESN'T AND SO, AND IT IS INDEED WEAKENING ITS DOWN TO 80 MILE AN HOUR WINDS AS OF THE ADVISORY AT 5, A.M. PACIFIC 8 A.M. EASTERN TIME MOVING NORTHWEST AT 21 PICKING UP FORWARD SPEED AND THE PRESSURE COMING UP BECAUSE THE OVERALL SYSTEM IS WEAKENING, BUT THERE IS A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF ENERGY IN THE SYSTEM AND MOISTURE AND THIS IS GOING TO BE THE PROBLEM THAT WE'RE GOING TO TALK A LOT ABOUT HERE. SO IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, BECAUSE YOU HAVE ALL THESE MOUNTAINS CRISSCROSSING THE THAT PART OF THE STATE. YOU HAVE TO HAVE A LOT OF RADARS TO GET AN IDEA OF WHERE IT'S RAINING BECAUSE THE MOUNTAINS BLOCK THE RADAR BEAMS. SO THOSE ARE THE RADARS THAT SERVE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND I WANT YOU TO NOTICE JUST LOOKING AT THIS WIDE VIEW THIS THESE YELLOWS IN HERE THIS IS WHERE THE HEAVIER RAIN IS FALLING OVER THE MOUNTAINS. WE'LL LOOK AT THIS IN MORE DETAIL, AND THEN YOU SEE AREAS OUT HERE IN THE DESERT WHERE WE'RE NOT GETTING RAIN. NOW THERE'S ACTUALLY SOME DRY AIR IN THE ATMOSPHERE COMING UP ON THIS SIDE OF THE STORM, BUT THAT CORRIDOR OVER THIS VERY POPULATED AREA HERE AND IN L, A AND RIVERSIDE AND SO FORTH. THAT'S GETTING THE RAIN RIGHT NOW. HERE WHEN WE LOOK, LOOK CLOSE UP. WHEN I PUT THE WINDS OVER TOP THAT YOU SEE WHICH DIRECTION THE WINDS ARE GOING, THEY'RE COMING OVER THE MOUNTAIN AND DOWN THE SLOPE. SO THEY'RE ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN ON WE'RE ALL THESE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE LIVE. RIGHT HERE. THEY'RE NOT GETTING IT. TOO BAD IN TERMS OF THE RAIN, YET IT'S MOSTLY LIGHT RAIN ON THAT SIDE. BUT LOOK WHERE THE ENHANCED THE YELLOWS ARE NOTICE. THEY'RE ALL THIS IS THE SAME GABRIEL MOUNTAINS HERE NORTH OF THE INLAND EMPIRE. RIVERSIDE THAT GO ON OVER THERE WILL BE EVENTUALLY BECOME THE HOLLYWOOD HILLS. NOTICE THAT IT'S ALWAYS ON THE MOUNTAINS WHERE ARE MOSTLY ON THE MOUNTAINS. SOMETIMES THE YELLOWS ACTUALLY COME DOWN AND WE GET GOOD DOWNPOURS. ON THE WEST SIDE, BUT IT'S THAT FACING SIDE TO THE TROPICAL WINDS. THAT'S WHERE THEY HEAVIER RAIN IS GOING TO BE ON THIS SIDE. HERE WE CAN SEE THESE POCKETS OF NOTICE. IT GOES DOWN IN THE VALLEY HERE OUT IN THE DESERT. THIS IS THIS IS THE SONORA DESERT OUT THERE IN CALIFORNIA AND THE IN THE WHERE THE SALTON SEA IS IN THE NORTH END UP THERE YOU HAVE PALM SPRINGS AND THE ISSUE HERE. IS THAT THE RAIN WILL FALL ON THESE MOUNTAINS AND THEN IT HAS TO GO DOWN THE HILL AND THESE ARE VERY SHARP MOUNTAINS. AND THAT'S THE DANGER IS THAT WATER COMING DOWN THE NORMALLY DRY CHANNELS THAT ARE THERE TO KIND OF FUNNEL THE RAIN THAT ARE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO HANDLE THIS MUCH RAIN UP TO THE NORTH? WE GO OVER IN HERE WHERE YOU SEE THIS HEAVY RAIN. THIS IS ALL DEATH VALLEY IN HERE. THIS IS PROMPT THAT YOU CAN'T SEE THE WHOLE WORD THERE. BUT SAMPHAN AND NEVADA BUT THIS IS DEATH VALLEY DOWN HERE. WHERE ALL AGAIN THAT WATERFALL INTO THE MOUNTAINS IS GOING TO GO DOWN TO THE LOWEST POINT IN NORTH AMERICA. AND SO THIS IS THE FLOOD THREAT. THERE IS EXTREME AND THEN WE ALSO SEE HERE IN THE MOUNTAINS AGAIN NORTH RIVERSIDE AND ON ACROSS THE LOS ANGELES BUT LOOK NOTICE THAT RIGHT NOW THE MOISTURE KIND OF CUTS OFF AS YOU GET TOWARD VENTURA COUNTY, WHICH IS UP HERE AS YOU GO OUT. I TEND TOWARDS ENSURE A COUNTY OR IN VENTURA COUNTY. YOU JUST GET THE CUT OFF OF THE MOISTURE RIGHT NOW BECAUSE OF THE TERRAIN WHERE THE STORM IS SO THAT'S A LITTLE OVERVIEW . BUT WHERE? WHERE THE HEAVIEST RAIN IS GOING TO FALL. HERE IS WHAT THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IS FORECASTING UP THE MOUNTAINS AND NOTICE AND OVER THE SAN GABRIEL MOUNTAINS, WRAPPING AROUND GREATER LOS ANGELES AND SAN DIEGO, SO ALL THAT WATER ON THE MOUNTAIN HAS TO COME DOWN STREAM AND DOWN INTO THE CITIES AND DOWN INTO THE DESERT. THIS IS THIS IS THE EXTREME DANGER, AND THEN YOU HAVE WITH ALL THE MOUNTAINS THAT ARE UP AND SURROUNDING DEATH VALLEY AND THEN POINTS NORTH AGAIN. VERY HEAVY RAINFALL UP THAT WAY. THE PEAK RAINFALL IN HERE IN THE 10 INCH RAINS, SO THAT'S WHERE YOU SEE THE 8 TO 12. LOTS OF AREAS 5 TO 8 INCHES. YOU HERE IN FLORIDA? WE DON'T THINK OF THAT AS BEING A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF RAIN. BUT WHEN YOU GET MOUNTAINS THAT FUNNEL THE RAIN THAT IS INCREDIBLE RAIN HERE YOU SEE THE ANALYSIS WHERE THE HEAVIER RAIN WILL FALL NOTICE. THAT'S THE SAME GABRIEL MOUNTAINS THERE SO ON THE MOUNTAINS AND ON THE FOOTHILLS AND THEN COMING DOWNHILL, THAT'S THE BIG DANGER, AND THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TODAY. TONIGHT AND THEN IT'S GOING TO BE OVER. SO IS IT TODAY AND TONIGHT THING IN TERMS OF THE WIND THIS IS ANALYSIS OF HOW FAR OUT FROM THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER WINDS OF 40 MPH OR SO MIGHT LIKELY BE FELT. AND YOU CAN SEE THE CONE IS MISLEADING BECAUSE THE WINDS AREA IS BIGGER. THIS DOESN'T MEAN THAT EVERY AREA IS GOING TO GET WIND. BUT IF THAT WIND INTERACTS WITH MOUNTAINS, THEN YOU'RE GOING TO GET ACCELERATING WIND TO MAYBE 60 YEARS 60 TO 70 MPH THROUGH THE GAPS. SO THINK SANTA ANA IN TERMS OF THE WIND HERE, BUT WITH THIS EXTREME RAIN THREAT ON TOP OF IT, SO THE IDEA IS WE REDUCED DOWN TO A TROPICAL STORM HERE THIS AFTERNOON AND THEN JUST KIND OF DIES OUT. WIND WISE MOVING NORTH. SO THE HIGHEST WINDS OF OUR SOUTH ER, THE HIGHEST POTENTIAL FOR WIND EXCEPT FOR THE GAPS, OF COURSE IN THE MOUNTAINS. OKAY, LET'S TRACK IT NOW. IN TERMS OF THE MOISTURE HERE, YOU SEE THE WINDS COMING IN RIGHT NOW FROM THE SOUTHEAST AND GOING OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND THEN THEY'RE WEAKER. UP IN HERE AND THE MODEL, BY THE WAY, IS A LITTLE BEHIND THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER POSITION, SO DON'T GET HUNG UP ON THAT. THE MAIN THING IS TO LOOK AT THE MOISTURE HERE. AND SO HERE WE GO LATER TODAY, THIS MOISTURE IS POUNDING INTO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA . AND THEN BY LATER TODAY , THE WIND SWITCH AROUND AND ON THE COASTAL PLAIN , THEN YOU GET THE MOISTURE LATE TONIGHT. INTO EARLY TOMORROW AND THEN TOMORROW, THE SYSTEM MOVES ON TO THE NORTH AND THINGS IMPROVE BY MORNING HOURS. I THINK IN SOUTHERN
