Tropical Storm Hilary is expected to continue to drive in a northeasterly direction through Nevada over the course of Tuesday, having already brought heavy rain and flooding to the deserts of northern Mexico and southern California, forcing rescuers to pull several people from swollen rivers.
Although Hilary has weakened from hurricane status and lost much of its force as it heads towards the Rocky Mountains, millions expect more rain, flooding and mudslides to come, now as far north as southeastern Oregon and the west-central mountains of Idaho, with potential thunderstorms forecast.
