Why do major Pacific storms weaken as they reach Southern California?

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:25:26 GMT

Several powerful storms develop in the Pacific Ocean every year but seem to lose their steam by the time they reach the Southland. With the development of Hurricane Hilary Thursday, KTLA meteorologist Henry DiCarlo explained why many of these Pacific storms, even the ones that reach hurricane status, are such duds by the time they get to us. The tropical systems typically develop south of Baja Californa near the equator, where the water is warmer. "Warm water is what fuels and builds storms into tropical systems," Henry said. Hilary becomes a hurricane, continues track toward California As the systems continue building in the ocean, often tracking parallel to Mexico, the eyes of the storms become well-developed, sometimes reaching hurricane levels. Tropical Storm Hilary is seen shortly before becoming a hurricane on Aug. 17, 2023. (NOAA)Once a storm reaches the cooler waters off of Baja or makes landfall, usually before it reaches California, it quickly diminishes. "Remember, the...

Southern California home to most fire-threatened homes in state

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:25:26 GMT

The Maui fires are a terrifying reminder of the destruction that wildfires can cause. It's a threat Californians are unfortunately familiar with. A new report from CoreLogic analyzed how many homes and apartments are at risk in 14 Western states at high risk of fires. They looked at areas' slope, drought conditions, wildfire fuel, wind and other factors to determine places with the most at-risk residences. California, unsurprisingly, had the most number of homes facing wildfire risk. The Golden State also had the highest estimated cost for rebuilding after a devastating fire. Is there still a fire season in California? Homes in Los Angeles, in particular, "face an elevated risk due to their proximity to forested or undeveloped areas," the CoreLogic report said. "This geographic placement can pose challenges for firefighting and evacuation efforts in case of a wildfire."The metro areas with the most at-risk homes, according to CoreLogic, are: Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim (242,18...
