1. A broad low pressure area located several hundred miles south-
southwest of the Gulf of Tehuantepec is producing disorganized
showers and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions are expected
to remain conducive for development, and a tropical depression is
likely to form during the next several days as the low moves west-
northwestward around 10 mph.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...50 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...80 percent.

Any chance of rain up here in San Diego?

My favorite storm watching site:
earth.nullschool.net
The programmer who put this together did so to learn the programming language Javascript. I'd say he learned it rather well.

Although it's projected path is well off the baja coast , I will certainly keep an eye on it! That right hook it has is concerning.

Checked the earth.null link last night, and saw 2 distinct wind patterns off coast SE of Baja peninsula.
Went to bed, awoke today: now looks like they have merged into 1 stronger system.
Uh oh....
Is this still Polo? And will that "merge" make it stronger and potentially more dangerous for Baja?

They are merging. When viewing this link keep in mind the color of the wind vectors denote wind strength. I'm not sure of the exact breakdown but the colors change from green to
yellow to orange to red, depending on the wind speed.

SO FAR wunderground says it'll remain a tropical storm for the next 4 days, and lessen to 'tropical depression' status before reaching mid-Baja....
that is at least a semi-positive. It will potentially bring lots of rain, but less damaging winds. Here we go again. Still, anything more than 72
hours is an educated guess, but i'd be stocking up on things I forgot or needed in the last one. Buena suerte Baja.

TROPICAL STORM RACHEL DISCUSSION NUMBER 6
200 PM PDT THU SEP 25 2014
After strengthening earlier today, Rachel appears to have leveled
off in intensity this afternoon. The initial wind speed is held
at a possibly generous 45 kt based on the latest satellite intensity
estimates from TAFB, SAB, and UW-CIMSS. The low-level center of the
storm is located near the northeastern edge of the main area of deep
convection due to about 15 kt of shear. This shear is expected to
lessen during the next couple of days, which should allow Rachel to
gain strength. By the end of the weekend and early next week, the
cyclone is expected to move over cooler water, and into an
atmosphere of southwesterly shear and drier air. These unfavorable
conditions should cause a weakening trend. The NHC intensity
forecast is a little lower than the previous one in the short term,
but is otherwise unchanged and is near the SHIPS guidance.
Rachel is moving west-northwestward at about 12 kt steered by
mid-level ridging to its north and northeast. A large trough
currently offshore of the west coast of the U.S. is expected to
move eastward causing the ridge to weaken and shift eastward as
well. This change in the synoptic pattern should cause Rachel to
gradually turn northward during the next few days. By the end of
the forecast period, the weakening system is expected to slow down
or become stationary when it becomes embedded in weak low-level
steering currents. The NHC track forecast is a little to the left
of the previous one and slower at the end of the period, following
the trend in the latest guidance.
FORECAST POSITIONS AND MAX WINDS
INIT 25/2100Z 17.0N 110.8W 45 KT 50 MPH
12H 26/0600Z 17.7N 112.3W 45 KT 50 MPH
24H 26/1800Z 18.7N 113.9W 50 KT 60 MPH
36H 27/0600Z 19.5N 115.0W 55 KT 65 MPH
48H 27/1800Z 20.4N 115.8W 60 KT 70 MPH
72H 28/1800Z 22.0N 116.1W 55 KT 65 MPH
96H 29/1800Z 22.8N 115.9W 45 KT 50 MPH
120H 30/1800Z 23.1N 115.5W 30 KT 35 MPH

Call it a dumb hunch, but mid-Baja, between Monday and Thursday, get ready for a big rain. 'Nuff said. Again, Buena suerte mis amigos y compañeros a
Mulege y San Lucitas.
Shari, don't sell the plywood yet.
