While the storm is not expected to make landfall in the state, the region will experience its effects through a favorable jet stream interaction with tropical moisture. Weather officials warn that the highest chance of rain will occur on Sunday, primarily over Los Angeles County, with light to moderate rain beginning Saturday night. Rainfall totals are expected to be less than half an inch, though coastal-facing mountain areas may see higher amounts. Coastal residents are advised to take precautions due to the risk of strong rip currents and beach erosion. Officials recommend that swimmers stay near a lifeguards and avoid rock jetties. In Long Beach, Malibu, and Avalon, there is a risk of coastal flooding for low-lying roads and bike paths.
