LOS ANGELES — Tropical Storm Kay brought sizzling temperatures, intense rain and winds topping 100 mph to some parts of Southern California, sparking concerns about coastal flooding and mudslides in fire zones.
The storm system churning along the northern coast of Mexico’s Baja California peninsula is expected to deliver heavy rains, flash flooding, strong winds and muggy conditions through at least Saturday.
Kay was about 200 miles off the coast of San Diego on Friday morning, said Miguel Miller, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service’s San Diego office. The bureau has issued a flurry of advisories about the impending storm.
