Los Angeles sports teams reschedule Sunday games in the wake of Hurricane Hilary.
The hurricane, which is forecast to weaken to a tropical storm when it reaches southern California, will bring rain Sunday through Monday.
In anticipation of predicted flooding and rain from the remnants of Hurricane Hilary, several Southern California sports teams announced schedule changes.
The changes come as Hurricane Hilary, a Category 4 system, is expected to hit Southern California as a tropical storm over the weekend.
