From all of Southern California to Tuesday afternoon, a mix of dangerous weather conditions is expected to be present, with the National Weather Service expecting warnings of thunderstorms, wind and hazardous conditions.
The NWS said the biggest thunderstorm opportunity will target areas of San Gabriel Mountain, Antelope Valley and mountainous areas in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties.
Developmental storms can bring lightning, heavy rain, hail and extreme winds. The NWS urged residents to take shelter during the storm, and in an Instagram post, “When thunder sounds, go indoors!”
The beach hazard statements for Ventura, Malibu, Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego counties are in effect on the coast until Tuesday afternoon.
According to the NWS website, long-term southern inflation has generated waves of up to six feet, with occasional sets reaching seven feet.
Strong clefts and dangerous swimming conditions are expected, especially along the south and southwest beaches.
Authorities warned that this would increase the risk of marine drowning and that RIP flows could bring swimmers and surfers to the ocean.
Additionally, the NWS said the waves could wash people off beaches, rocks and rocks near the coast and capsize small boats. Swimmers are advised to leave the water, unless they are near an occupied lifeguard tower.
“In such conditions, lock jets can be fatal,” says the NWS Coast Hazard Message. “Please leave the rocks.”
Offshore, small craft advisories are valid until 9pm on the water supply from Point Piedras Blancas to Point Monkeys to Point Monkeys to Santa Cruz Island, which includes the waters near the San Miguel and Santa Rosa Islands. Over 10 feet of oceans are becoming dangerous for small containers.
The NWS advises inexperienced Mariners to avoid navigating in these conditions.
Authorities recommend checking updated forecasts before heading to the water or mountains and taking all necessary precautions to stay safe during this unstable weather.
