Re: Hurricane Rachel Potential SoCal and Desert SW

Today's 18z Globals + Hurricane Models for Rachel.

Rachel is forecast to be post-tropical by the time landfall on either the northwestern Baja California or Southern California coast occurs, but this is not certain, and there are many models that carry the cyclone inland at or above 35 knots (storm strength). Depending on structure, Tropical Storm Watches and even Warnings could be required for a portion of SoCal and northwestern Baja. Regardless of technical classification, interests in these areas and into southern Nevada, western Arizona and Utah should be paying close attention. The main threat will be from flash flooding.

When in doubt, take the word of the National Hurricane Center.
