Tropical Storm Rachel Brings Coastal Flood Risks to SoCal

Tropical Storm Rachel Brings Coastal Flood Risks to SoCal

Tropical Storm Rachel, downgraded from a hurricane, is expected to bring significant coastal flooding risks and rain to Southern California this weekend. The National Weather Service warns that south-facing beaches, including Long Beach Peninsula, Malibu, and Ventura, are particularly vulnerable due to elevated sea levels caused by a Kelvin wave, a phenomenon linked to the ongoing El Niño. Sea levels could rise by 6 to 12 inches, increasing the threat of beach erosion and flooding. Rainfall is anticipated between Sunday night and Monday, with totals ranging from 0.25 to 0.75 inches in most areas. Winds are also expected to pick up, with gusts reaching 20 to 35 mph. This weather event comes as forecasters predict this El Niño could be one of the strongest on record, potentially leading to more extreme weather in the coming months.

Fire Weather Watch Issued for Campbell County Amidst Elevated Fire Danger

Fire Weather Watch Issued for Campbell County Amidst Elevated Fire Danger

A fire weather watch has been issued for Campbell County, Wyoming, and much of northeast Wyoming, effective from Friday morning through Friday evening. The National Weather Service in Rapid City, South Dakota, issued the watch due to above-normal warmth and dry air, which are expected to significantly elevate fire danger. Southwest winds are forecast to be between 10-20 mph, with gusts potentially reaching up to 35 mph. Relative humidity is projected to drop as low as 10%. These conditions create an environment where any fires that ignite could spread rapidly. Gillette is expected to experience sunny skies with a high near 85 degrees on Friday, with breezy southwest winds. Warm and breezy conditions will persist into Saturday, with a high near 77, before a cold front arrives Saturday night, bringing a 50% chance of showers and a significant temperature drop of 25-30 degrees by Sunday.
