The National Weather Service has announced that Hurricane Rachel will change course and head toward Baja California and southern California after weakening due to cooler ocean water and dry air. As of now, San Diego County faces beach hazards with waves averaging 3 to 5 feet and potential sets reaching up to 6 feet. The NWS issued a coastal flood advisory and advised increased lifeguard staffing and heightened awareness for dangerous high surf conditions and powerful rip currents.

Story summary
The National Weather Service (NWS) has predicted a significant shift in Hurricane Rachel's path, which now threatens to move toward Baja California and southern California, particularly affecting San Diego County. This change is due to a large weather system moving from the northwest that will push Rachel off course, causing it to slow down and then accelerate toward these regions. Although the storm's intensity is expected to diminish as it travels over cooler ocean water and dry air, dangerous coastal conditions are still anticipated with high surf and powerful rip currents. The NWS has issued a beach hazards statement and a coastal flood advisory for San Diego County, where waves up to 6 feet high could cause flooding of beach parking lots, boardwalks, and roads, though only isolated road closures are expected. Local lifeguard services have heightened alert levels and increased staffing in response to these conditions.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
