Incoming Rain Showers Forecasted for Southern California
Through Labor Day weekend, more precipitation is expected in Southern California, so keep your umbrellas available.
After waking up to showers on Saturday morning, residents of Southern California can anticipate additional precipitation through Sunday, according to the National Weather Service.
Inconsistent precipitation will persist intermittently through Saturday night and Sunday midday.
Kaj Goldberg, a meteorologist for KTLA, explains that a large area of low pressure off the coast of California is attracting monsoon precipitation and generating a very strong marine layer that will force through the Southland.
“With a strong onshore flow, this marine layer will reorganize itself once again,” which will result in weekend precipitation, according to Goldberg.
According to the NWS, mountain and foothill regions could experience even heavier precipitation. Sunday will bring gusty winds to mountain and desert communities.
Through Labor Day, Los Angeles, Orange County, and the Inland Empire can anticipate partly cloudy skies and temperatures between the middle and upper seventies on average.

Beach Hazard Warnings: Safety Precautions for Coastal Areas
Until Tuesday, all Los Angeles and Ventura counties, the Malibu coast, and the Catalina and Santa Barbara islands are under beach hazard warnings.
Beware of hazardous rip currents and breaking swells with a three- to six-foot-high surge when visiting the beach.
“There is an increased risk of ocean drowning,” the NWS cautions. “Rip currents can pull swimmers and surfers out to sea. Waves can wash people off beaches and rocks, and capsize small boats near the shore.”
Additionally, the NWS advises mariners to remain in port, seek a safe harbor, and/or secure their vessels in the face of strong winds and combined seas. Visitors to the beach should avoid the water’s margin and all coastal boulders.
