Hurricane Rachel to turn back toward land, bringing dangerous surf to California as Simon looms

Hurricane Rachel is weaking in the open Pacific but is forecast to make a sharp turn back toward land later this week, potentially bringing more life-threatening surf to Southern California after swells from Hurricane Marie caused coastal erosion in the same area last month. Meanwhile, Invest 92E off southern Mexico is expected to strengthen into Tropical Storm Simon later this week. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is also monitoring another area for tropical development behind Invest 92E and is currently giving this system low odds of developing over the next seven days.
