Hurricane Marie diverts from Southern California but rocky water causes some flooding
Lifeguards warned of dangerous rip currents and more than 1,000 expected rescues as crews rebuilt berms and pumped floodwater from beach lots.
- On Sunday, September 6, Hurricane Marie remained well offshore of Southern California, yet its swells generated rough surf and coastal flooding in Long Beach and Seal Beach over the Labor Day weekend.
- El Niño conditions are fueling active tropical activity in the Pacific by enhancing hurricane formation through warmer ocean temperatures, according to the National Weather Service.
- Dangerous rip currents and surf reaching 10 feet prompted High Surf Advisories along Los Angeles and Ventura County beaches, with lifeguards urging swimmers to remain near towers.
- A 15% chance of thunderstorms exists across Los Angeles County as remnant moisture from Marie brings rain, with roads becoming slick from accumulated oils during dry months.
- Unsettled weather may linger through early next week, with temperatures potentially soaring into the 90s as the region transitions to a new heat wave, the NWS reported.
