Tropical Pacific Moisture Drenches Central US as Another Pacific Hurricane Forms
The storm is forecast to rapidly strengthen, with maximum sustained winds of 85 mph, while its moisture drives a weeklong flood threat across the Central U.S.
- Hurricane Rachel, currently a Category 1 storm with 85 mph winds, is located about 225 miles southwest of Cabo Corrientes, Mexico, and is forecast to rapidly strengthen through Wednesday.
- Moisture from Rachel and remnants of Hurricane Polo fuel a dangerous weeklong flood threat across the Central U.S., with over 150 million people across 30+ states facing hazardous conditions.
- Hurricane Polo reached Category 5 strength last week with peak winds of 180 mph, entering the record books at 892 millibars central pressure as only the 10th remnant to affect the U.S. since 1950.
- Tropical Depression Nineteen-E formed in the open Pacific on Tuesday, though the National Hurricane Center expects the system to be short-lived amid a strengthening El Niño supercharging basin activity.
- Rachel will parallel the Mexican coast before turning west into the open Pacific later this week as the 20th named storm of the season, reflecting heightened activity from a strengthening El Niño.
