Mostly cloudy conditions will sit throughout the night with lows barely escaping the sixties. Tomorrow, expect another warm day in the mid-eighties and a slight chance of showers in the afternoon.A surge of moisture arrives today bringing widespread rain showers and thunderstorms. Isolated flash flooding and debris flows are possible, especially in slot canyons and below steep terrain. Unsettled weather remains in place for the week to come featuring below-normal temperatures and periodic precipitation and radar shows a system from Arizona is slowly continuing to push towards the northwest near southern Utah. Throughout today, it has continued to push into the region. There is some indication it could slide south to about the I-70 corridor overnight into Tuesday before warm air advection pushes it back to the northeast out of the region. With plenty of moisture in place across the southern areas and mostly clear skies tomorrow, look for afternoon thunderstorms again across the south extending north into the central mountains. However, an unsettled weather pattern remains in place for much of this a bit of a lull in storms on Tuesday, another low pressure system is projected to move northeast across the Desert Southwest for the tail-end of the week.

Lightning, rip currents and dangerous seas forecasted in Southern California
A mix of hazardous weather conditions is expected across Southern California through Tuesday afternoon, with the National Weather Service warning of thunderstorms, damaging winds and dangerous conditions for mariners. NWS said the greatest chance of thunderstorms would target areas across the San Gabriel Mountains, the Antelope Valley and the mountains of Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties. Any storms that develop may bring lightning, heavy downpour, hail and extreme winds. NWS urged residents to take shelter during storms, reminding the public in an Instagram post: 'When thunder roars, go indoors!' At the coast, a beach hazards statement remains in effect through Tuesday afternoon for Ventura County, Malibu, Los Angeles County, Orange County and San Diego County beaches. A long-period south swell is producing elevated surf up to 6 feet, according to the NWS website, with occasional sets reaching 7 feet. Strong rip currents and hazardous swimming conditions are expected, especially along south- and southwest-facing beaches. Officials warned that this brings an increased risk of ocean drowning, and that rip currents can pull swimmers and surfers out to sea. In addition, NWS said the waves may also wash people off beaches and rocks or capsize small boats near shore. Swimmers are advised to remain out of the water unless near an occupied lifeguard tower. 'Rock jetties can be deadly in such conditions,' stated the NWS coastal hazard message. 'Stay off the rocks.' Offshore, a small craft advisory is in effect until 9 p.m. Monday for waters from Point Piedras Blancas to Point Sal, and from Point Sal to Santa Cruz Island including the waters near San Miguel and Santa Rosa Islands. Seas over 10 feet are making conditions hazardous for smaller vessels. NWS advises inexperienced mariners to avoid navigating in these conditions. Officials recommend checking updated forecasts before heading to the water or mountains and taking all necessary precautions to stay safe during this period of unsettled weather.
