Summary
Sunday rain from Hurricane Marie’s remnants is expected across Southern California, with most areas getting 0.25 inch or less and mountain foothills possibly topping 0.5 inch.
A 15% chance of afternoon thunderstorms in Los Angeles County could bring heavier localized downpours, though forecasters put the risk of minor urban flooding there at only about 5%.
Low-lying coastal spots around Long Beach, Malibu and Point Mugu face the greatest flooding concern, while roads could turn slick after months of dry weather.
High surf advisories remain in effect through late Tuesday for Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego county beaches, with strong rip currents and large breaking waves threatening swimmers, surfers and small boats.
Forecasters say Marie will stay hundreds of miles offshore and keep weakening, making the rainfall largely beneficial while a few showers may linger into Monday and Tuesday.
