Good Nite LA Friday, 10/23/2026

Welcome to Good Night LA. I'm Christine Devine. King tides are making a return to the Southern California coast on Monday, bringing the potential for coastal flooding. Right now, crews along south-facing beaches are racing to prepare and protect the shoreline. We'll go live to Christy Fajardo in Newport Beach for the update there. Christy. Yeah, Christine, and preparing them has been a massive undertaking tonight. We saw drizzle. We also saw lightning, but of course, that is not the big concern. The concern are the king tides, which are expected to come in on Monday and could reach up to six and a half feet. Mountains of sand separate homes from what will soon be a raging ocean. The city of Newport Beach preparing and bracing for the king tides. Expected to crash into the coast in a matter of days. The city put some little things in our door, so they kind of gave us a heads up. Pedro Hideo, who lives by the wedge, is grateful to stroll past the massive berms, heavy equipment, and giant sandbags, which could also be seen from Skyfox. Shoring up the shore, that's what they're doing. There's been nonstop work, so from what I can tell, they're doing a lot to make sure we don't have what happened last week or two weeks ago. There was a, as you guys saw, there was a river going down this street, so I think they're doing a ton to make sure it doesn't happen. This is what parts of Newport Beach looked like last month when back-to-back hurricanes pushed massive waves over sea walls. That's why with more giant swells on the way, the city has now declared a state of emergency. Hi, I'm Mayor Lauren Kleiman. And the mayor is putting out a warning. From October 26th through the 28th, we're expecting exceptionally high tides. And this is just the first of several King Tide events anticipated this season, with more coming in November and December. Mayor Kleiman says the city is reinforcing protective berms, clearing storm drains and adding sandbags along sea walls. And is asking homeowners to set up temporary flood barriers to ensure when the tides come, they're not just relying on these mountains of sand and of course the wedge is known to get high surf and often draws crowds of people who want to come out and view it but that is a bad idea according to authorities they're asking people to stay away from the coastline when those tides roll in what's more those giant protective berms are also very impressive but they are asking people to stay off them live in Newport Beach I'm Christy Farhader let's send it back to you All right, Christy, thanks. Strong thunderstorms swept through Fullerton tonight. Look at this here. Left streets and parking structures flooded. Fullerton High School was forced to cancel its senior night football game against rival Sunny Hills due to dangerous thunder and lightning. Officials say the game is rescheduled for tomorrow night, weather permitting. Wild weather right there lashing Taiwan today as Typhoon Champi brought massive waves to the coast from the Philippine Sea. residents are being warned to stay away from the shoreline as the powerful storm combines with seasonal winds good night la weather is sponsored by the law offices of larry h parker well we're expecting to see our own coastal impacts as we roll into this weekend and through a big portion of the following work week i can tell you as we take a look here at our satellite and radar we have this system that did draw in not just some wet weather today but we had a whole light shows some of that lightning and thundering happening across a lot of the area you can see right now rolling uh through our 10 o'clock hour here la county we're mostly under the dry side but out to the east of us we do have some of that precipitation showing up here on our radar not just some some rain there we do have a pocket of some wintry weather showing up across some of our mountains you'll see most of that moisture staying locked into the east of us making it through what's left of this evening but as we roll into those overnight early morning hours we are expecting to all be on the same page here and by that we are looking at a set of drier conditions tomorrow does come with some clouds to start the day but we will get a nice dose of that sunshine rolling through our morning and into our afternoon hours as well now we do not have any alerts in place for Saturday in terms of the coast but as we roll into Sunday through Thursday we are going to see coastal flooding alerts go into effect we are seeing an advisory in place for portions of LA County beaches but then also our coast westward so moving into Ventura County as well where we could potentially see the likelihood of minor to moderate coastal flooding the further south you go so including Orange County and areas uh south of that we are potentially seeing some of that significant coastal flooding which is that warning that is in place again this is going to be a level higher than that advisory there so a little bit more serious in terms of some of that coastal flood potential we are looking at Sunday through Thursday for these alerts but that pocket we'll really be watching for will be Monday through Wednesday where we could see some of that higher surf excuse me that higher tide cycle rolling through the area so our morning high tide could potentially reach up to eight feet during the course of that alert being in effect we could see that flooding not just across some of those parking lots but also into some of those roads and yes that those homes could also see the potential for some of that water making its way into it there we are also looking at beach erosion being an issue with that coastal flood alert in place as we roll over into tomorrow i talked about things drying out for us sunshine in place well here's a look at LA getting into that eight o'clock hour a little bit on the cooler side we're talking upper 50s but all the fall feel with plenty of sunshine in place our temperatures will top off in the mid 70s for LA but the surrounding area we may see a few of those upper 70s pop out areas like the Inland Empire but also into the San Fernando Valley the Santa Clarita Valley and also the coastline looking to get a nice dose of those temperatures from the mid to upper 70s a lot cooler across our mountains where we are picking up some of that precipitation right now Big Bear going for the lower 50s and Palm Springs likely to see temperatures in the 80s roll in closer here to show you that's pretty much the bigger picture that we'll see across most of the area where temperatures should be right around or maybe a few degrees uh off from their normal now the pattern through the this weekend will be dry conditions that'll be the start of next week as well where we are under beautiful skies out there pretty much a trail of sunshine until we arrive at the end of next week so about a week from today we do have a lovely low pressure system working its way into the mix and this potentially could bring in our next cycle of wet weather and yes that may also lead into our Halloween holiday so by next weekend we could be looking at that but of course models do have the potential to make a little bit of a shift so we'll be watching that forecast over the next several days. Temperatures for this weekend in the mid to upper 70s for the LA inland Orange County area. We'll get a little bump as we start into next week, but you'll see we have a stretch of 70 degree temperatures. And by Friday, we do have that 40% chance of precipitation in the forecast. If you're in the valleys or the Inland Empire, a little warmer than what we'll see into our city, but temperatures still in the upper 70s for tomorrow. Maybe a few of those 80s popping out low 80s but definitely as we move into the back half of the weekend and the start of next week you'll see a lot of sunshine there and then we do start to get some of that cloud cover building up towards the middle and end of next week ahead of the potential for that next rain maker making its way into the forecast and again if you're going to be out there this weekend you do want to watch for those king tides especially from that window of Sunday through the following week on Thursday. Back to you. You got it. Another rabid raccoon is reported this month, this time in Westlake Village. Only the second case in L.A. County since 1973.
