From Chad Crilley on FB: (9/23/26) Wednesday FULL forecast - Polo expected to make landfall in Baja California Sur as a hurricane. Major coastal impacts possible in Southern California, including more beach erosion.
On Tuesday, Hurricane Polo broke records and became one of the strongest storms ever recorded on the planet. With so much energy being used at once, Polo has inevitably weakened some and is now a Cat 4 storm.
#HurricanePolo is expected to move away from the Mexican coastline over the next few days and move west-northwest before making a sharp turn to the north and then east, with a possible landfall in Baja California Sur as a Cat 2 storm on Monday or Tuesday.
As this happens, we are watching the upper-air pattern closely. A ridge of high pressure over central Mexico and a trough of low pressure digging into the West look to be the primary steering current for Polo.
Interestingly, the trough may help pull in moisture to #SoCal, with a chance of rain now in the forecast for Monday.
No doubt, the biggest local impact will be the increase in surf and possibility for coastal flooding and erosion next week. Some of the erosion could be significant. #Socalwx #Sandiegowx #Trackingthetropics #Imperialcountywx #Julian #Pinevalley #Alpine #Bralwey #Elcentro #Encinitas #Oceanside
