According to information from the Christian Science Monitor, the National Hurricane Center and NOAA is tracking Tropical Storm Ivo. There is a tropical storm warning for the southern portion of the Baja California peninsula in Mexico. It has been stated that a direct landfall isn't likely, but that heavy rain is expected from the storm. This was the map as of 5AM 24 August 2013.

As of 8AM 24 August 2013, computer models have predicted a different storm track. Rather than to barely skirt the coast, the storm is predicted to be further away, and then downgrade to a tropical depression.

it was predicted that flooding might come to the Southwest USA as a result of the storm. This was a day before.

Could flooding come as a result? It is a possibility. It could happen. It might not. According to the maps and computer models, the storm track predictions have changed, within hours. The storm could still shift.
