The National Weather Service says Coachella Valley residents should prepare for the impacts of Hurricane Hilary, which will move into the valley this weekend after making landfall in Mexico and could dump more than a year's worth of rain in areas. NWS San Diego Meteorologist Miguel Miller said the service is starting to narrow down the potential track of the storm that is now expecting to bring around five inches of rain to Palm Springs. However, other areas will likely see even more rain, with six inches expected in Thermal and seven to nine in the San Jacinto Mountains, although Miller said he expects some mountain spots will see even greater totals.
