Rachel, formerly a tropical storm in the Eastern Pacific, degenerated into a post-tropical cyclone after losing organized convection, with the National Hurricane Center noting the system was now driven more by an upper-level trough than tropical processes. As of late October 10, Rachel's center was located near 30.0N, 116.5W, moving north-northeast at 36 mph with winds of about 60 mph and a central pressure of 987 mb, prompting warnings of strong winds for portions of the Baja California Peninsula. GDACS classified the system as a green-level alert with no significant population impact estimated from hurricane-force winds. A related local statement was issued for San Diego, California, as effects from the weakening system reached the US-Mexico border region.
