Hurricane Rachel took a sharp turn in the Pacific Ocean and is moving toward Southern California, with forecasters predicting it could arrive early Sunday.
It is projected to weaken into a tropical storm before making landfall.
“The current forecast shows it coming ashore about 100 miles south of San Diego, but the path could shift as far north as Orange County,” the New York Post reports.
More from the New York Post:
“Powerful waves are bashing the Long Beach coast Thursday morning, causing even more damage to an already-battered shoreline. Conditions may worsen in the coming days because of the impacts from Tropical Storm Rachel,” KTLA wrote.
Rachel is approaching California while Isaias barrels toward the Gulf Coast.
“It’s a coast-to-coast tropical double threat! The U.S. is facing a dual storm setup as Isaias charges into the Gulf Coast from the East, while Rachel whips around the Pacific to target the Southwest—leaving both coasts bracing for heavy rain, flash flooding, and gusty winds,” FOX Weather wrote.
