Until Tuesday evening, flood advisories were in effect in Los Angeles and Ventura counties, with up to two inches of rain falling in the Inland Empire on Tuesday afternoon.
Flash flood warnings were also in effect in parts of the Inland Empire until 7:15pm, as the June storm was predicted to bring excessive rainfall to parts of Southern California.
“The expected rainfall rate is 0.25-0.75 inches per hour. Additional rainfall of 0.5-1.5 inches is possible in the warning area,” the National Weather Service (NWS) warned.
Rain was reported in Shimi Valley and Oxnard around 3:20pm
“The Doppler radar showed scattered showers and thunderstorms that produced locally heavy rain,” the National Weather Service said, although the heavy rain pockets are expected to be small in size and have many coverage.
Forecasters also warned that minor flooding is possible in low-lying areas with poor drainage. In some areas, mild debris flow is possible.
“The lightning strike continues, so take it easily on the road for a night commute,” NBC4′ meteorologist Stephanie Ormo said of the Inland Empire region.
Where flooding is experienced include Thousand Oaks, Simi Valley, Acton, Pasadena, Burbank, Griffith Park, Universal City, Alhambra, Mount Wilson, North Hollywood, Downtown Los Angeles, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Vannuis, Encino, Northridge, Whittier, Covina and the West.
In the Inland Empire, people from Riverside, San Bernardino, Fontana, Moreno Valley, Ontario, Rialto and Redland were warned of possible flash floods.
But by the weekend, temperatures will start to warm again, reaching the 90s in the desert and low desert regions next week, Olmo said.
