Good morning and welcome back to Monday. High surf and coastal flooding is in store for Southern California coasts for the next few days, and light rainfall is expected on Christmas Eve.
We’re looking at a sunny and warmer day after the morning clouds burn off. Look for highs in the upper 60s close to the coast and the low to mid 70s for inland areas. The western San Fernando Valley will be the warmest area today with a high of 77 degrees expected in Woodland Hills.
Coachella Valley will see highs in the low 80s, and in the high desert expect temperatures to reach the low 70s.
Tonight’s lows will drop to the mid 40s.
About the high surf and coastal flooding
The National Weather Service says high surf and coastal flooding are in store for Southern California today.
For Ventura County beaches, forecasters say large waves from 12 to 18 feet are expected this afternoon through tomorrow.
A coastal flood advisory is in effect this afternoon until 9 a.m. Tuesday for Ventura County — that means parking lots, beaches, walkways and other low-lying areas along the coast could flood during high tides.
