Post-Tropical Cyclone Rachel is currently about 60 miles east northeast of San Diego, moving north at about 25 mph. Rachel no longer has tropical characteristics and tropical storm level impacts will diminish in San Diego County this morning. The Tropical Storm Watch has been cancelled for all of San Diego County. Coastal flooding, wind, and periods of heavy rain which could lead to localized flooding and flash flooding will continue to be a concern today. The majority of impacts from the tropical storm have ended. South swell from Post-Tropical Cyclone Rachel will continue today. The combination of south and northwest swells, increased onshore winds, and high tides over 7 feet will maintain a threat of coastal flooding and beach erosion along area beaches. Surf today is currently expected to peak at 6 to 9 feet, decreasing to 3 to 6 feet for Monday and Tuesday. Confidence in impactful coastal flooding is high, with significant coastal flooding and beach erosion likely. Widespread rain from Post-Tropical Cyclone Rachel will decrease through today. There is a gradient in rainfall amounts with the higher amounts over San Diego County, the mountains, and parts of the low desert. Peak rainfall rates of 0.50 to 0.80 inches were observed for the coast and valleys, 0.50 to 0.70 inches per hour in the deserts, and 0.70 to 1 inch per hour in the mountains. Observed rainfall totals so far are as follows: 0.48-0.95 inches in the San Diego County coastal areas, 0.55-2.37 for the San Diego County valleys, 0.32-2.15 for the San Diego County mountains and 0.76-1.57 for the San Diego County deserts. Areas of flash and urban flooding occurred. The San Diego River at Fashion Valley is currently forecast to crest at 8.1 feet (action/monitor stage) just before noon today. Those with interests near the San Diego River should continue to monitor the forecast. Increased winds occurred with the onset and passage of Post-Tropical Cyclone Rachel. Sustained winds of 59 mph were observed and stronger wind gusts were associated with thunderstorms. The southern and eastern parts of San Diego County saw winds of this magnitude, although strong sustained winds and wind gusts also occurred elsewhere. Winds were enhanced by local terrain. Winds are expected to remain elevated in Rachel's wake with continued strong gusts on the desert mountain slopes into the deserts through Monday morning. POTENTIAL IMPACTS ----------------- * WIND: Little to no additional wind impacts expected. - Community officials are now assessing the extent of actual wind impacts accordingly. - Emergency response teams are attending to casualty situations as needed. - Emergency work crews are restoring essential community infrastructure as necessary. - If you have an emergency dial 9 1 1. * SURGE: Little to no additional surge impacts expected. - Community officials are now assessing the extent of actual surge impacts accordingly. - Emergency response teams are attending to casualty situations as needed. - Emergency work crews are restoring essential community infrastructure as necessary. - If you have an emergency dial 9 1 1.

Remain well guarded against locally hazardous flood waters having further impacts of limited potential. * TORNADOES: Little to no impacts are anticipated at this time across EXTREME SOUTHWESTERN CALIFORNIA. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS ---------------------------------- * EVACUATIONS: Follow the advice of local officials. * OTHER PREPAREDNESS INFORMATION: Remain safely sheltered until conditions improve. When going outside be sure to stay away from downed power lines, hazardous debris and flooded areas. If your home or shelter was damaged, be alert to the smell of gas leaks and be cautious around electrical wiring, broken glass, jagged metal and wood, and protruding nails and screws. Check to see if everyone in your group is OK. Administer first aid to those who are injured. If possible, call 9 1 1 for any serious injuries. Remember, it may be difficult for emergency responders to arrive quickly. Check in with your emergency points of contact. Let them know your location and status. Keep conversations short and to the point. Do not tie up communications systems. Check on your neighbors. If necessary, help them connect with their points of contact. Do not attempt to return to evacuated areas until local authorities have inspected roads and bridges and have given the all clear. Hazards like downed power lines and trees, washed out roads, continued flooding in low lying areas and non-functioning traffic lights make travel difficult. Allow extra time for emergency vehicles to reach you as they navigate road hazards. Do not attempt to return to evacuated areas until local authorities give the all clear. Allow time for officials to inspect bridges and overpasses and to mark washed-out roads. When entering areas that have been heavily damaged, bring along a GPS-enabled device to help with street navigation. Do not drive on roads that have been marked closed. Do not go sightseeing within impacted communities. Sightseers interfere with the emergency work of first responders. When inspecting damage, use flashlights rather than candles or flamed lanterns. Be aware of sparks that can ignite natural gas or other leaking flammables. Do not go up on your roof until the weather conditions are safe. Ladders can be slippery in the rain and unexpected wind gusts can blow you off the roof. When clearing out fallen trees, be careful with chainsaws and axes. Always wear protective gear and keep others at a safe distance. Leaning trees and those which have fallen on roofs or power lines can be especially dangerous. If you are not in good health or unsure about what you are doing, have someone with tree cutting experience do the job. Never cut trees without a partner. If using a generator, avoid carbon monoxide poisoning by following instructions provided by the manufacturer. Operate your generator in a well-ventilated space outside of your living area and away from open doors and windows. Problems with sewer backups can further contaminate standing flood waters. Keep children away from flood waters. Also, listen for boil water alerts as tap water may have become non-potable. Be alert for any lingering wind gusts which could take down weakened trees and/or power lines, collapse damaged structures, or cause flying debris. Be alert for potential flooding from rising rivers and streams which may have yet to crest. Remain informed of the latest river forecasts and heed any flood watches and warnings. Be alert for flooded roads which could be compromised or littered with debris. Avoid travel until water levels subside and roads have been cleared. Do not drive through places where flood waters cover the road. Turn around, don't drown! Have multiple ways to receive Tornado Warnings if issued. Consider nearby shelter options as you move about. Be ready to shelter quickly. * ADDITIONAL SOURCES OF INFORMATION: - For information on appropriate preparations see ready.gov - For information on creating an emergency plan see getagameplan.org - For additional disaster preparedness information see redcross.org NEXT UPDATE ----------- The next local statement will be issued by the National Weather Service in San Diego CA around 8 AM PDT, or sooner if conditions warrant.

Post-Tropical Cyclone Rachel is currently about 190 miles south of San Diego, moving north-northeast towards Northern Baja at about 36 mph. Rachel is expected to make landfall south of the US/Mexico Border tonight. Though Rachel no longer has tropical characteristics, tropical storm level impacts will likely affect San Diego County. A Tropical Storm Watch remains in effect for all of San Diego County. The main concerns with Tropical Storm Rachel are coastal flooding, wind, and periods of heavy rain which could lead to localized flooding and flash flooding. The majority of impacts from the tropical storm are expected late tonight through early Sunday afternoon. South swell from Post-Tropical Cyclone Rachel will arrive on Sunday. The combination of south and northwest swells, increased onshore winds, and high tides over 7 feet will maintain a threat of coastal flooding and beach erosion along area beaches. Surf on Sunday is currently expected to peak at 6 to 9 feet, decreasing to 3 to 6 feet for Monday and Tuesday. Confidence in impactful coastal flooding is high, with significant coastal flooding and beach erosion likely. Widespread rain is expected late tonight into late Sunday morning from Post-Tropical Cyclone Rachel. There is expected to be a gradient in rainfall amounts with the higher amounts over San Diego County, the mountains, and parts of the low desert. Peak rainfall rates of 0.50 to 0.60 inches are possible for the coast and valleys, 0.50 to 0.70 inches per hour possible for the deserts, and 0.70 to 1 inch per hour for the mountains. Current forecast has rainfall totals of 0.50 to 1.25 inches for the coast, valleys, and deserts and 1 to 2.5 inches for the mountains. Areas of flash and urban flooding are probable, especially where the maximum rainfall rates occur. The San Diego River at Fashion Valley is currently forecast to crest at 8.1 feet (action/monitor stage) just before noon on Sunday. Those with interests near the San Diego River should continue to monitor the forecast. Increased winds are expected with the onset and passage of Post-Tropical Cyclone Rachel. Sustained winds of 39+ mph are expected on the southeast side of the storm. Based on the current track, more southern and eastern parts of San Diego County are most likely to see winds of this magnitude. Regardless, strong sustained winds and wind gusts can be expected on Sunday. Winds will likely be enhanced by local terrain with gusts 40 to 55 mph on the desert slopes of the mountains and into the deserts. Local gusts up to 60 mph possible on mountain ridges and in passes and canyons. Winds are expected to remain elevated in Rachel's wake with continued strong gusts on the desert mountain slopes into the deserts through Monday morning. POTENTIAL IMPACTS ----------------- * WIND: Prepare for hazardous wind having possible limited impacts across EXTREME SOUTHWESTERN CALIFORNIA. Potential impacts in this area include: - Damage to porches, awnings, carports, sheds, and unanchored mobile homes. Unsecured lightweight objects blown about. - Many large tree limbs broken off. A few trees snapped or uprooted, but with greater numbers in places where trees are shallow rooted, especially in coastal and valley locations that don't typically experience strong winds. Some fences and roadway signs blown over. - A few roads impassable from debris, particularly within urban or heavily wooded places. Hazardous driving conditions on bridges and other elevated roadways. - Scattered power and communications outages. Elsewhere across EXTREME SOUTHWESTERN CALIFORNIA, little to no impact is anticipated. * FLOODING RAIN: Prepare for life-threatening rainfall flooding having possible extensive impacts across San Diego County. Potential impacts include: - Major rainfall flooding may prompt many evacuations and rescues. - Rivers and tributaries may rapidly overflow their banks in multiple places. Small streams, creeks, canals, arroyos, and ditches may become dangerous rivers. In mountain areas, destructive runoff may run quickly down valleys while increasing susceptibility to rockslides and mudslides. Flood control systems and barriers may become stressed. - Flood waters can enter many structures within multiple communities, some structures becoming uninhabitable or washed away. Many places where flood waters may cover escape routes. Streets and parking lots become rivers of moving water with underpasses submerged. Driving conditions become dangerous. Many road and bridge closures with some weakened or washed out. Prepare for dangerous rainfall flooding having possible significant impacts across San Diego County. * OTHER COASTAL HAZARDS: - High tides over 7 ft, combined with high surf and gusty onshore winds will increase the threat for coastal flooding across area beaches. Additionally surf of 6 to 9 ft will create dangerous swimming conditions. Significant coastal flooding and beach erosion is likely. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS ---------------------------------- * EVACUATIONS: Follow the advice of local officials. * OTHER PREPAREDNESS INFORMATION: If you live in a place particularly vulnerable to flooding, such as near the ocean, in a low-lying or poor drainage area, in a valley, or near a river, plan to move to safe shelter on higher ground. Always heed the advice of local officials and comply with orders that are issued. Do not needlessly jeopardize your life or the lives of others. Closely monitor weather.gov, NOAA Weather Radio and local news outlets for official storm information. Listen for possible changes to the forecast. * ADDITIONAL SOURCES OF INFORMATION: - For information on appropriate preparations see ready.gov - For information on creating an emergency plan see getagameplan.org - For additional disaster preparedness information see redcross.org NEXT UPDATE ----------- The next local statement will be issued by the National Weather Service in San Diego CA around 2 AM PDT, or sooner if conditions warrant.
