Hurricane Hilary Affecting Los Angeles-Area Events: MLB Games Shifted; Theme Parks Monitoring Storm

Refresh for latest: Hurricane Hilary is expected to weaken by the time it hits Southern California at the tail end of this weekend, but the National Weather Service on Friday issued a Tropical Storm Watch, the first ever in the region. Flash flooding and high winds possible across L.A., Ventura and even Santa Barbara counties as Hilary makes landfall near San Diego on Sunday, with the main impacts expected Sunday and Monday.

It’s a busy weekend events-wise in Los Angeles and SoCal, with all the city’s NFL and MLB teams hosting games. There are also shows at the Hollywood Bowl and the Greek Theatre, and of course theme parks are keeping watch from San Diego’s SeaWorld to Disneyland, Knott’s Berry Farm, Universal Studios Hollywood and Magic Mountain from south to north along the 5 Freeway corridor.
