Hurricane Rachel to Turn Toward Southern California This Weekend; Dangerous Surf First
<p>According to the National Hurricane Center (NHC) on the afternoon of October 7, Category 1 Hurricane Rachel was located about 800 miles west of the southern tip of Baja California, with maximum sustained winds near 80 mph, moving west-northwest. Rachel is forecast to slow down late this week, make a sharp turn to the northeast, and accelerate toward Baja California and Southern California, possibly approaching the Southern California coast in weakened form this weekend.</p><p>No coastal watches or warnings are in effect yet, but swells generated by Rachel will build along the Southern California and northern Baja coasts through the weekend, likely causing life-threatening surf and rip currents. San Diego County has issued a beach hazards statement and a coastal flood advisory. Beachgoers should heed lifeguards and the latest weather updates, as the track may still shift.</p>
