Revelation 16:9 “They were scorched by the fierce heat, and they cursed the name of God who had power over these plagues. They did not repent and give him glory.”
Important Takeaways:
- Kay continues to threaten flooding rain for SoCal
- A serious flooding threat is expected to develop across the bone-dry southwestern United States due to a substantial influx of moisture from Tropical Storm Kay, located in the East Pacific near the coast of Baja California, Mexico.
- Kay remained a large storm that had sustained winds of 60 mph (95 km/h), making it a tropical storm, and was moving north-northwest at 13 mph
- The center of Kay made landfall as a Category 1 hurricane near Bahia Asuncion in Baja California, Mexico,
- The last named tropical system that came close to San Diego was Hurricane Nora from September 1997.
- Based on the current AccuWeather forecast, Kay’s approach toward California will be the closest that any tropical storm has gotten to Los Angeles since a storm named Hyacinth in 1972, according to AccuWeather Senior Weather Editor Jesse Ferrell.
- Rainfall amounts of 2-4 inches will be common in the mountains of Southern California, but some localized amounts as high as 8 inches will be possible
- San Diego and Los Angeles average less than a quarter of an inch of rain over the entire month of September.
- The strongest wind gusts in the United States from Kay are also expected to be in the higher elevations of Southern California. Wind gusts of 40-60 mph will be possible, especially in the mountains, AccuWeather forecasters say.
