Los Angeles Times • • nation
Key Points:
- Hurricane Marie, though weakening and remaining offshore, is bringing tropical moisture to Southern California, resulting in an increased chance of rain and thunderstorms on Sunday.
- Most areas can expect light rainfall of up to a quarter inch, with some mountain foothills possibly receiving half an inch or more, and a 15% chance of afternoon thunderstorms in L.A. County.
- Minor flooding is possible in low-lying coastal areas such as Long Beach, Malibu, and Point Mugu, with a low risk of urban flooding and slick roads due to oil buildup after dry months.
- A high surf advisory is in effect through late Tuesday for beaches in L.A., Orange, and San Diego counties, warning of widespread strong rip currents and dangerous large waves.
- Beachgoers are advised to swim only near lifeguards and avoid rock jetties to stay safe amid hazardous surf conditions.
