Tropical Storm Hilary's Impact on Reno: Doubled Water and Rainy Weather

Tropical Storm Hilary has brought heavy rainfall to Reno, doubling the amount of water in the air and causing widespread rain in Northern Nevada. The storm has injected over an inch of precipitation into the atmosphere, which is more than twice the average for August. As the storm moves south, it is expected to bring isolated thunderstorms and cooler temperatures to the region. Meanwhile, in California, Hilary has caused life-threatening flooding, mudslides, and downed trees. Some areas have already received more than half a year's worth of rain, leading to dangerous flash floods and the closure of schools.
