Remnants of Tropical Storm Rachel hit San Diego County harder than expected before dawn Sunday, sending surf crashing into beachside cottages in Oceanside, flooding parts of Highway 101 near Carlsbad, and triggering several water rescues.
The quick-moving system also knocked out power to more than 330 customers in the Otay Mesa-San Ysidro area, and significantly tore into the berm that protects the Del Mar Lifeguard headquarters. The Tijuana River estuary flooded a street in Imperial Beach.
The National Weather Service had forecast that roughly 1 inch of rain would fall in coastal cities and 2 to 3 inches would fall and drench inland mountains and valleys between late Saturday night and early Sunday.
The outer ridge of Rachel surged ashore about 8 p.m.— earlier than anticipated — and let loose. By 12:30 p.m. Sunday, the system had dropped 5.16 inches on Palomar Mountain, 2.69 inches in eastern Oceanside, 2.11 inches in the Bay Ho neighborhood of San Diego, 1.75 inches in Carlsbad, and 1.36 inches at Camp Pendleton.
San Diego International Airport got 0.92 inches.
The weather service reported varying amounts of precipitation around the region: Julian, 3.04 inches; Otay Mountain, 2.99 inches; Poway, 2.69 inches; Ramona, 2.52 inches; Alpine, 2.30 inches; Fallbrook, 2.22 inches; Valley Center, 2.10 inches; Rancho Bernardo, 2.06 inches; San Diego Country Estates, 2.06 inches; Escondido, 1.81 inches; Campo, 1.81 inches; Santee, 1.56 inches; National City, 1.52 inches; Borrego Springs, 1.14 inches.
Despite the weather service’s Saturday plea that the public stay away from local beaches because of the possibility of coastal flooding, crowds still flocked to the coast. In Oceanside, motorists lined up to drive on The Strand early Sunday to get a close look at the water. Cars and trucks were soon being hit by waves.
A crowd also gathered south of the pier to watch Bruce Parker, a well-known local who goes by the nickname Trenchcoat Guy, stand on The Strand and repeatedly get hit by big waves.
“Why am I doing this?” said Parker, 79. “Because it’s fun.”
Before long, other people were doing the same, including children.
“We just like watching Mother Nature,” said Collin Smith of Encinitas, who was standing with his son, Cedric. “It doesn’t happen every day.”
Down in South County, the swollen Tijuana River estuary flowed onto Seacrest Drive in Imperial Beach.
By Sunday morning, San Diego Fire-Rescue personnel had responded to more than 50 traffic collisions, five transformer fires and 17 incidents reporting wires being down in the storm, Deputy Fire Chief Dan Eddy said in an Instagram post.
City firefighters and lifeguards also participated in water rescues, including one in the La Mesa area and one in Coronado.
Heartland Fire & Rescue crews worked with San Diego firefighters after a man was swept into a culvert near 70th Street and Alvarado Road, near the border of La Mesa and San Diego, shortly after 10 p.m. Saturday. The man was trapped in rapidly rising stormwater, officials said.
“An extensive rescue operation was undertaken, and the victim was successfully extracted,” Heartland Fire said in an Instagram post. The man was transported to the hospital in stable condition.
A second water rescue occurred near Imperial Avenue and 33rd Street in the Logan Heights area involving a person trapped in a storm drain tunnel, a San Diego spokesperson said.
In that incident, reported shortly after 11:45 p.m. Saturday, a lifeguard rescue team built a rope system to extricate the person. More than 30 personnel, including two lifeguard swift water rescue teams and four fire engines, worked for more than an hour to free the man. He was able to walk away, the spokesperson said.
San Diego lifeguards assisted with a third rescue early Sunday morning after Coast Guard officials received a 911 call around 4 a.m. from a man on a sailboat that ran aground near Coronado and was taking on water.
The Coast Guard sent a small boat crew who located the sailboat near Coronado Beach, but they couldn’t get near it because of the shallow water and hazardous surf conditions, a Coast Guard spokesperson said.
A helicopter crew sent from Ventura lowered a rescue swimmer down to assist. The man was trapped inside the sailboat cabin and was sticking his head out of a small hatch. The rescue swimmer gave the man a snorkel to help him breathe and worked to rip the top off the boat to free him from the cabin. He was rescued around 7:15 a.m. and transported to receive medical care, the spokesperson said.

City of San Diego maintenance crews worked, Saturday, to clear clogged stormwater channels in neighborhoods that flood often, including Sorrento Valley.
Workers have been removing tree branches, heavy brush, and other debris from the drainage system along Sorrento Valley Road and Roselle Street.
There has been significant flooding in the past of businesses and cars in the industrial hub.
Sorrento Valley was among the communities hit hard by the historic January 2024 floods.
San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria acknowledged that the city's aging infrastructure faced increasing challenges from extreme weather.
“The fact of the matter is our storm channel system was built for a bygone era. Climate change is real, " the mayor told NBC 7, Saturday, as he visited some of the preparation projects. "The magnitude of extreme weather events challenge our existing system because it’s undersized for what we’ve got," he said.
Clean up of the water ways has been going on for several weeks.
The work includes using front loaders and excavators to remove obstructions that could prevent water from flowing freely as it rises during heavy rainfall.
Although San Diego faces a significant budget deficit, funding for stormwater maintenance was not reduced this year, allowing the essential work to be done.
For business owners in Sorrento Valley, the approaching storm brings back memories of previous flooding.
Ali Namvar, owner of Green Rabbit landscaping, recorded cellphone video last year showing floodwaters rushing down Roselle Street.
“All my service trucks were literally floating down the street like a river," said Namvar.
Ahead of the latest storm, his employees were racing to deliver nearly 3,000 pounds of fertilizer to dozens of customers before the heaviest rain arrived.
“We want to fertilize all of our plants, all of our lawns. So, next week we’ll have beautiful green grass on all of our projects.”
Across the street, construction crews faced a different challenge.
Workers have been renovating a building that will become the new headquarters of JB Pacific, a commercial construction company.
But with sections of the roof removed, the approaching storm created an urgent need to protect the structure.
Walker Bond, the renovations superintendent, said the timing caught his crew off guard.
“I knew we were going to get some storms, but I thought we had a little bit more time. So, we ripped up the roof, and it’s got a whole bunch of holes in it now," said Bond. "It's a scramble to put everything back together.”
Sorrento Valley is not the only neighborhood receiving attention.
In Southcrest, another community devastated by the January 2024 floods, crews have been working near the neighborhood's park, where a drainage channel became blocked with trash and debris during the historic flooding.
The work is part of a project that began earlier this year.
Crews are excavating soil and reinforcing portions of the area while the city investigates longer-term ways to prevent another mass flooding disaster. The improvements are not a permanent solution.
While maintenance crews prepare on the ground, meteorologists with the National Weather Service are closely tracking Tropical Storm Rachel's path, wind speeds and potential rainfall.
Adam Roser is one of about a dozen meteorologists monitoring the storm and sharing updated forecasts with city and county leaders.
The information helps local officials make decisions about emergency preparations, road closures and other measures intended to protect people and their homes.
“A tropical storm watch isn't something we see very often," Roser said. "It's been a great learning opportunity to make those relationships with those city officials to continue to keep the community safe."

Update: As of 9:25 p.m. Saturday night, Tropical Storm Rachel became Post-Tropical Storm Rachel per our NBC 7 meteorologists.

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — San Diego County is bracing for a stormy weekend as Tropical Storm Rachel approaches Baja California, bringing the potential for heavy rainfall, damaging wind gusts, flash flooding and dangerous coastal conditions.
According to the National Weather Service, the most significant impacts are expected to begin late Saturday night and continue into Sunday, with another round of lighter rain possible Monday into early Tuesday.
Although the center of Rachel is expected to remain south of the U.S.-Mexico border, its tropical moisture could produce significant impacts across Southern California.
Most of Saturday is expected to remain dry across San Diego County, with increasing cloud cover and a slight chance of isolated thunderstorms in the mountains and deserts during the afternoon.
The main band of rain is forecast to arrive in San Diego County between 10 p.m. Saturday and midnight, spreading northward across Southern California between 1 a.m. and 4 a.m. Sunday.
Sunday morning is expected to bring some of the most widespread rainfall, with periods of moderate to locally heavy rain.
Along the coast, the steadier rainfall should begin breaking into scattered showers between 8 a.m. and 11 a.m. Sunday.
By Sunday afternoon, most coastal and inland communities should see more isolated showers, although steady rainfall could continue in the foothills and along coastal-facing mountain slopes through Sunday evening.
Under the most likely storm scenario, which the National Weather Service assigns approximately a 60% probability, San Diego County could receive:
Rainfall rates in the mountains could reach half an inch to one inch per hour, increasing the risk of flash flooding.
Forecasters caution that rainfall totals remain uncertain and will depend heavily on Rachel's eventual track.
If the storm moves closer to San Diego, rainfall totals could climb to 1.25 to 2.5 inches across the coastal basin and 3 to 4 inches in the mountains.
A Flood Watch is in effect from Saturday evening through Sunday evening for San Diego County.
Residents should be especially cautious around flood-prone roads, low-water crossings, canyons and areas near creeks and streams.
Along with heavy rainfall, Tropical Storm Rachel could bring strong wind gusts beginning early Sunday morning.
Under the most likely wind scenario, coastal communities and inland valleys could experience gusts between 25 and 45 mph.
Mountain ridges and desert slopes could see significantly stronger winds, with gusts reaching 50 to 70 mph.
These winds could make travel difficult, especially for high-profile vehicles, and potentially bring down tree branches or unsecured outdoor objects.
The strongest winds are expected Sunday morning into the afternoon before gradually weakening Sunday evening.
A Tropical Storm Watch is in effect across San Diego County.
San Diego's beaches face an additional threat as tropical storm swells combine with elevated tides and strong winds.
Surf is expected to build to 5 to 8 feet Sunday, with occasional sets reaching 9 feet.
Meanwhile, high tides between 7 and 7.5 feet could contribute to significant coastal flooding and beach erosion.
A Coastal Flood Warning remains in effect through 3 p.m. Sunday.
Beachgoers should avoid entering the water during hazardous conditions and stay away from exposed rocks, jetties and unstable coastal bluffs.
Strong rip currents will also create dangerous swimming conditions.
Although surf and winds should gradually weaken Monday and Tuesday, elevated tides and lingering swells could continue producing minor coastal flooding into Tuesday afternoon.
The wet weather will not necessarily end once Tropical Storm Rachel moves away.
A separate upper-level weather system moving southward into California is expected to bring another round of lighter rainfall Monday.
Most coastal and inland communities could receive an additional 0.05 to 0.25 inches, with higher totals possible in the mountains.
Light snow is also possible at elevations above approximately 8,000 feet.
Scattered showers could linger into Tuesday morning before conditions begin clearing Tuesday afternoon.
The storm systems will also bring a noticeable drop in temperatures across San Diego County.
Highs are expected to fall approximately 10 to 15 degrees by Sunday, with many coastal and inland communities reaching only the low 70s.
Monday will be even cooler, with highs generally in the 60s west of the mountains and temperatures falling into the 40s at higher mountain elevations.
Conditions should begin warming Tuesday, with a more significant warming trend developing during the second half of next week.
Seasonable temperatures are expected to return by the end of the week, with potentially much warmer weather next weekend.

LAST YEAR: THE BEST START IN PROGRAM HISTORY
San Diego women's soccer head coach Greg LaPorte led the Toreros to the program's best start in program history in 2025. His second season at the helm in San Diego saw USD accomplish the following:

San Diego Padres ace Michael King addressed the possibility of opting out of his contract this winter.
King is entering the potential second year of a three-year, $75 million. He's due $58 million over the next two years if he doesn't opt out.
However, King was blunt when talking about his future with the Padres, calling his option a "future decision" in the immediate aftermath of Game 4 of the National League Division Series.
"This is where we started a family," King said. "We started our foundation here. San Diego's been incredible for me, and it's all the way across the country from home. But now I feel like I have a second home on the West Coast, so it's been awesome. And yeah, I hope to continue."
King completed his third season in San Diego and his eighth overall in MLB. The 31-year-old right-handed pitcher had one of his best seasons, proving he can be not only a reliable piece in a rotation, but a true ace for a contender.
In a career-high 32 starts, King posted a 3.21 ERA, 159 strikeouts and a 1.17 WHIP in 185 innings.
The New York native was as reliable as a pitcher can be, especially for a Padres rotation that was decimated by injuries.
The Padres leaned heavily on their elite bullpen because of the question marks and injuries in the rotation. King was the only starter to complete five innings during the team's playoff run.
King is set to enter his age-32 season, but the question is with what team? He will be a hot commodity this winter if he opts out, ranking among the more highly-touted pitchers along with Tarik Skubal, Trevor Rogers and Freddy Peralta.
The 31-year-old has a chance to opt out, and that will likely be the case. However, that doesn't mean that San Diego will not be in the running to retain him.
Bringing back King is crucial for the Padres rotation. Outside of him, there are a ton of question marks. Walker Buehler will also be a free agent after he had a revival-type season with the Padres.
Pitchers Griffin Canning and Lucas Giolito have mutual options that will likely be declined, and Joe Musgrove returned in the playoffs, but his health hasn't been on his side for the past two seasons.
The Padres finished with a 91-71 record in 2026, second in the National League West for the third consecutive season. They'll look to finally win the NL West for the first time since 2006 — but need to fill a starting rotation to make that a reality.
