"Some areas could see significant rainfall for this time of year - around a quarter of an inch - particularly along a path from San Diego up to the Coachella Valley, the weather service said. The chance for thunderstorms will be strongest over the Riverside and San Bernardino county mountains, where some patches of heavy rainfall could cause flash flooding. The bulk of the tropical moisture will stay south and east of Los Angeles County, though showers will be possible, according to the weather service's Oxnard office."
"On the heels of a scorching heat wave, Southern California could be in for rainfall, thunderstorms and dangerous surf thanks to weakening Tropical Storm Juliette moving its way north off the coast of Mexico. The National Weather Service hasn't issued any alerts for hazards from the cyclone, but forecasters are warning that the region could feel its effects as early at Wednesday night."
Remnants of Tropical Storm Juliette moving north off Mexico will increase moisture across Southern California beginning Wednesday night and into Thursday. Scattered showers and a slight chance of thunderstorms are expected across portions of the region, with rain chances increasing Thursday morning through the evening. Urban areas could see 0.05-0.25 inches, with up to 0.5 inches possible in the mountains and about a quarter inch along a corridor from San Diego to the Coachella Valley. Thunderstorm potential is highest in Riverside and San Bernardino county mountains, where heavy rainfall could cause flash flooding. Surf will be affected, raising the likelihood of dangerous rip currents Thursday and Friday. Juliette is expected to dissipate by Thursday, though its moisture is tracking a bit faster and farther north than earlier anticipated.
