For storm information specific to your area \noutside of the United States, please monitor products issued by your \nnational meteorological service.\n \n \nDISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK\n----------------------\nAt 500 AM PDT (1200 UTC), the center of Post-Tropical Cyclone Rachel \nwas located near latitude 33.9 North, longitude 115.4 West. The \npost-tropical cyclone is moving toward the north near 25 mph     \n(41 km/h) and this motion is expected to continue today as Rachel \nmoves farther inland over the southwest United States.\n \nMaximum sustained winds have decreased to near 40 mph (65 km/h) with \nhigher gusts. Rachel should continue to weaken and dissipate later \ntoday.\n \nTropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 160 miles (260 km)\nfrom the center.\n \nThe estimated minimum central pressure is 993 mb (29.33 inches).\n \n \nHAZARDS AFFECTING LAND\n----------------------\nKey messages for Rachel can be found in the Tropical Cyclone\nDiscussion under AWIPS header MIATCDEP3 and WMO header WTPZ43 KNHC.\n \nWIND: Tropical storm conditions are occuring over portions of the \nBaja California Peninsula within the Tropical Storm Warning area, \nand these conditions will continue for the next few hours. Strong \ngusty winds associated with the system are spreading over interior \nportions of the southwestern United States, especially in areas of \nhigher terrain, today and tomorrow.\n \nRAINFALL: Rachel will bring 1 to 2 inches of rain to portions of\nnorthern Baja California this weekend.\n \nRachel and its associated moisture will also bring rainfall of 1 to \n3 inches, with maximum amounts locally up to 5 inches from Southern \nCalifornia into the Great Basin and portions of the southwestern \nUnited States this weekend. This will lead to increasing coverage of \nrainfall and potential for significant flash and urban flooding.\n \nFor a complete depiction of forecast rainfall associated with\nRachel, please see the National Weather Service Storm Total Rainfall\nGraphic available at\nhurricanes.gov/graphics_ep3.shtml?rainqpf and the Flash Flood Risk\ngraphic at hurricanes.gov/graphics_ep3.shtml?ero.\n \nSURF: Waves generated by Rachel will continue along the coasts of \nSouthern California and northern Baja California today. These waves, \ncombined with an incoming long-period southerly swell, will cause \nlife-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Coastal flooding \nand erosion are expected to worsen this morning as the highest waves \ncoincide with the high tides and water levels that are already \nrunning well above predicted levels. Moderate to major coastal \nflooding is expected, with hazardous coastal conditions continuing \ninto early next week. Please consult products from your local \nweather office.\n \n \nNEXT ADVISORY\n-------------\nNext complete advisory at 800 AM PDT.\n \n"}
