SoCal Braced for Fringe Rain and High Surf from Hurricane Marie

Hurricane Marie stayed offshore but thrashed the L.A. area with light to moderate rain (about a quarter-inch to an inch) and dangerous coastal conditions, including 6–10-foot waves and strong rip currents, prompting beach closures and rescues. Seal Beach saw parking-lot flooding, and a flood advisory covered parts of western L.A. County, with burn-scar areas noted for possible debris flows. Downtown L.A. faced less rain, while meteorologists called the rainfall largely beneficial; temperatures are set to climb back into the mid-90s later in the week.
