On Saturday, the NWS issued a flood advisory for Los Angeles County as Southern California will likely see several days of rain from two distinct storms striking the coast.
A second storm headed to the Pacific Coast will bring more rain from Sunday through Tuesday.
Strong waves and rip currents will continue this week, providing dangerous conditions for visitors and possible flooding along the coast, according to the National Weather Service.
Those heading to the beach should stay back from the water’s edge and off any coastal rocks.
Anyone heading outside should be aware of hazardous driving conditions including fallen rocks and debris on roads. Debris flow is especially pronounced in recent burn areas.
