135 PM PDT Mon Oct 5 2026

Hurricane Rachel is near 20.3N 117.1W at 2 PM PDT, and is moving west at 7 kt. Maximum sustained winds are 80 kt with gusts to 100 kt, and the minimum central pressure is 973 mb. The center of Rachel will move to 20.3N 118.2W tonight, 20.4N 119.5W Tue afternoon, 20.7N 120.9W Tue night, and 21.2N 122.3W Wed afternoon. Rachel will weaken to a tropical storm near 21.6N 123.7W Thu morning, then will change little in intensity as continues to move to W-NW through Fri afternoon. Farther south, 1009 mb low pressure is developing south of Oaxaca near 12N96W, supporting fresh E winds and scattered thunderstorms off Oaxaca west of Puerto Angel. Environmental conditions appear favorable for gradual development, and a tropical depression is expected to form during the next few days while the system moves slowly west- northwestward to northwestward just offshore of the southern to southwestern coast of Mexico. The disturbance has a medium chance of formation in the next 48 hours and a high chance in the next 7 days.
