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.

Map Shows Where 3 States Warned About Floods in the Desert
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a flood watch for desert areas in southern California, southern Nevada, and northwestern Arizona, effective Wednesday, as heavy rain puts the region at risk for flooding. Why It Matters The heavy rain comes less than a week after remnants from Tropical Storm Alvin brought a surge of moisture to Arizona. AccuWeather Lead Hurricane Expert Alex DaSilva previously told Newsweek that the moisture was similar to the region's monsoon season, which doesn't typically begin until later in June. DaSilva said he expects more tropical storms to take a similar path as the Eastern Pacific hurricane season continues, meaning more heavy rain could be in the U.S. Southwest's future this summer. What to Know The watch is in effect for "portions of northwest Arizona, including the following areas, Lake Havasu and Fort Mohave, Lake Mead National Recreation Area, Northwest Deserts and Northwest Plateau, southeast California, including the following areas, Eastern Mojave Desert and San Bernardino County-Upper Colorado River Valley, and southern Nevada, including the following areas, Lake Mead National Recreation Area, Las Vegas Valley, Northeast Clark County, Sheep Range, Southern Clark County, Spring Mountains-Red Rock Canyon and Western Clark and Southern Nye County." The flood watch will remain in effect until 11 p.m. local time. A more severe flash flood warning has been issued in Northwest Arizona. In addition to causing floods, dirt and debris may also be present on the roads due to the surge in moisture. The Mojave National Preserve also asked people to be on the lookout for desert tortoises, which emerge after rain to hydrate and eat the vegetation. More rain is expected this evening, according to the NWS, with some thunderstorms potentially producing moderate to heavy rainfall. NWS meteorologist Jenn Soulat, who works at the Las Vegas office, told Newsweek that the moisture is unusual, given Las Vegas is currently in its dry season. Soulat attributed the surge in moisture to three storm systems that interacted with each other, including the remnants of Tropical Storm Alvin. She doesn't expect the flood watches to continue throughout the end of this week and warned people that triple-digit heat will soon return. A stock photo of a thunderstorm in the desert.

Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. Low-water crossings may be flooded." NWS in a forecast issued on Wednesday: "A storm system traversing the Southwest U.S. will continue to favor a regional threat of heavy showers and thunderstorms through tonight which may bring sufficient rainfall for at least scattered areas of flash flooding. This will include potential impacts to some of the area burn scar locations, local slot canyon areas, and also the normally dry washes. Up to a couple inches of new rainfall will be possible by early Thursday morning." What Happens Next The NWS Climate Prediction Center anticipates slightly above-normal precipitation for the region from June 10 to June 14, according to the six- to 10-day precipitation outlook. Normal rainfall is expected further out, for the eight- to 14-day outlook.
