ALT Key Messages: 1. Rachel is expected to approach the coast of extreme northern Baja California, northern Gulf of California, and Southern California at tropical storm strength over the weekend, potentially bringing strong winds and coastal flooding to portions of those areas. A Tropical Storm Watch could be required for a portion of this area by tonight. Gusty winds are likely to spread over interior portions of the Southwest United States into early next week. 2. Moisture associated with Rachel will spread over portions of the Southwest United States and northern Baja California peninsula through this weekend. This will lead to increasing coverage of rainfall and a threat of flash and urban flooding. 3. Swells partly generated by Rachel will build along the coast of Southern California and northern Baja California through the weekend. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.
