Tomer’s Take: The remnants of Hurricane Hilary could impact many of the high peaks across the West 8/20-8/21 with strong wind and precipitation including very heavy snow on some California 14ers. This assumes the storm system stays on track.
Below, the visible satellite view from GOES-18 shows Hurricane Hilary. I drew on the projected path.
