San Diego Under Rare Tropical Storm Watch with Rachel Set to Bring Coastal Flooding, Heavy Rain and Strong Winds
Forecasters said coastal flooding could damage roads and homes as Rachel’s swells and high tides raise the risk of life-threatening surf.
- On Thursday, the National Hurricane Center upgraded Hurricane Rachel to Category 3, reporting maximum sustained winds near 120 mph about 230 miles off Baja California as the system tracked along Mexico's coastline.
- An unusually active El Niño-fueled hurricane season intensified Pacific storm activity, complicating recovery efforts across northern Mexico and the U.S. Southwest still reeling from Hurricane Polo damage earlier this week.
- Storm remnants are forecast to deliver up to 5 inches of rain across the Southwest, with officials warning of flash flooding, water rescues, and travel disruptions as the system moves inland this weekend.
- Coastal cities including Long Beach and Newport Beach declared local emergencies, with authorities distributing more than 7,600 sandbags to protect vulnerable infrastructure from high tides and dangerous surf.
- Scientists indicate a Kelvin wave has reached Southern California, raising sea levels by about 6 inches and amplifying coastal flood risks as the region braces for Rachel's arrival through early next week.
