Proteccion Civil Estatal Colima (PC_Colima) via X/Handout via REUTERS/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsCompanies Estado de Baja California FollowMEXICO CITY, Aug 18 (Reuters) - Category 4 Hurricane Hilary was rushing toward Mexico's Baja California peninsula on Friday morning, a U.S. government agency said, though it should weaken before hitting the U.S. Pacific coast this weekend. The powerful storm is threatening parts of Mexico and the south-western United States with "significant flooding" and prompted the country's National Hurricane Center (NHC) to issue its first ever tropical storm watch for California. Hilary is expected to approach the west coast of Mexico's Baja California as a hurricane this weekend but weaken to a tropical storm before hitting the U.S. state on Sunday afternoon. Rhome said California and southern Nevada faced risks from severe flooding caused by up to 10 inches of rainfall. A storm surge could cause coastal flooding and destructive waves along the Baja California peninsula, the NHC said.

Proteccion Civil Estatal Colima (PC_Colima) via X/Handout via REUTERS Acquire Licensing RightsMEXICO CITY, Aug 17 (Reuters) - Hurricane Hilary strengthened into a Category 2 storm on Thursday as it barreled through the Pacific toward Mexico's Baja California peninsula, packing winds of up to 105 miles per hour (165 km/h), the U.S. National Hurricane Center said. Additional strengthening is forecast for the next days, and Hilary is likely to become a major hurricane - defined as a Category 3 or higher - later on Thursday, it added. Hilary is expected to dump 3-6 inches (7.6-15 cm) of rain across parts of the Baja California peninsula through Sunday night. Tropical storm conditions are expected within the south of Baja California by late Friday, and are possible further up the peninsula by early Saturday.
