Hurricane Hilary is currently projected to impact California. Will it make landfall on the coast?
A tropical storm making landfall in California is exceptionally rare. The only recorded instance of this was in Long Beach, 1939.

The only known hurricane to directly impact California was the 1858 San Diego Hurricane. It is thought that it never made landfall, skimming the coast of the California Bight.

National Hurricane Center definition of landfall: "The intersection of the surface center of a tropical cyclone with a coastline." (For this, we'll also count the center of a subtropical storm making landfall on the California coast.)
Will resolve by the end of Monday, 8/21
EDIT: Due to the very close call and NHC's difficulty tracking the center of the storm, this will resolve sometime in early September when the NHC's best track analysis is released.
