and totals (1-2 inches). The higher end case brings 1-2" over the
coast, valleys, deserts and 2-4" over the mountains, which could result
in more numerous impacts.
Increased winds are expected with the onset and passage of TS
Rachel. Sustained winds of 39+ mph are expected on the southeast
side of the storm. If the track continues to move further north,
that would put more of San Diego county in a position to see winds
of that magnitude. Based on the current track, more southern parts
of the county are most likely to see winds of this magnitude.
Regardless, stronger than normal sustained winds and wind gusts can be
expected on Sunday.
Locations north of San Diego County are expected to also see impacts
from coastal flooding, the potential for heavy rain, and elevated
winds.
POTENTIAL IMPACTS
-----------------
* WIND:
Prepare for hazardous wind having possible limited impacts across San
Diego County. 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 dangerous rainfall flooding having possible significant
impacts across San Diego County. Potential impacts include:
- Heavy rainfall flooding may prompt several evacuations and
rescues, especially in and below recently burned areas.
- Rivers may quickly become swollen with swifter currents and
overspill their banks in a few places, especially in usually
vulnerable spots. Small streams, creeks, arroyos, and ditches
overflow.
- Flood waters can enter some structures or weaken foundations.
Several places may experience expanded areas of rapid
inundation at underpasses, low-lying spots, and poor drainage
areas. Some streets and parking lots take on moving water as
storm drains overflow. Driving conditions become hazardous.
Some road closures.
Prepare for locally hazardous rainfall flooding having possible
limited impacts across San Diego County.
* OTHER COASTAL HAZARDS:
High tides reaching 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.
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, or in a valley,
plan to move to safe shelter on higher ground.
Now is the time to check your emergency plan and emergency supplies kit
and take necessary actions to protect your family and secure your home
or business.
Always heed the advice of local officials and comply with orders that
are issued.
Closely monitor weather.gov, NOAA Weather Radio and local news
outlets for official storm information. Listen for possible changes
to the forecast.
