Southern California

Hurricanes off the Pacific coast are sending heavy surf to Southern California beaches and bringing rain to parts of the Southwest, according to the Los Angeles Times. Coastal communities are watching for dangerous rip currents and high waves, while inland areas of the Southwest could see much-needed rainfall from the tropical moisture. Residents are being urged to use caution near the water as conditions develop.

Hurricane Polo is moving up the Pacific coast off Baja California, and Southern California is preparing for its fallout, including possible heavy rain, thunderstorms, coastal flooding and dangerous surf in the coming days. Local outlets are covering emergency preparations and advising residents along the coast to stay alert to changing forecasts.
