Good Nite LA, Tuesday 10/27/2026

Welcome to Good Night L.A. I'm Christine Devine. Severe flooding continues along the coast as El Nino fuels record-breaking tides. Several areas are impacted with water breaching seawalls and flooding homes. Fox 11's Ed Laskos reports from Sunset Beach in Huntington Beach. It just is the latest round of these destructive king tides, more than leaving their mark here on Sunset Beach. Joe, away we go into the story. Pacific Coast Highway even closed for several hours because of the flood water. Check this. Lots of standing water still left along here. And this is just the beginning of the mess that's left behind. Watch. It's the cleanup from the aftermath of the latest king tide and all its flooding. Never seen it like this. After 22 years. Never has it been this high. You are walking right through it. Bayview Drive on Sunset Beach, all underwater. Water that's from the canal that came up fast. It just rushed within 20 minutes. It was up above my boot. Came up that fast. It came up that fast like that, and it stayed like that for a good three hours. First responders here, moving through all the high water, they're on damage patrol. The king tide rushing the water from the canal over PCH, even flooding out the other side. We thought we would be okay until the water breached the seawall over there, and we just watched it slowly come over and creep up to the house and flood the inside. everything is underwater everything oh that size says it all even with these sandbags they are lined up everywhere the water it just blasted right through today when it came right right in from the corner and it moved those sandbags like it was a pillow just just slid up right on the side trying to get ready again for tomorrow because we know we're going to have the same issue tomorrow and how frustrating is that i mean you clean up and it's again tomorrow yeah it's exhausting. Now back here, it is exhausting because the cleanup still goes on and then they're expecting yet another round of these king tides tomorrow morning. And yes, they're expecting even more flooding and more damage. For now, we're here in Sunset Beach. Back to the west side we go. It's wild. All right, also in Orange County, record-breaking king tides are flooding. Newport Beach for third straight day. It's a live look from photojournalist Mike Armijo. water level surged to an unprecedented 8.4 feet forcing officials to temporarily shut down water traffic under the Newport Boulevard Bridge and in LA County a Redondo Beach waterfront bar refused to close today after high tide seawater surged inside this live look coming to us courtesy of photojournalist Elliot Mendoza who's right near their Project Barley Taps and Grill on the International Boardwalk kept its doors open, serving patrons even as water covered the floors. Good night, L.A. weather is sponsored by the law offices of Larry H. Parker. Adam Kruger here with your forecast, and you heard about it right there. That's our big weather story in the short term. These king tides the next few mornings. We continue with the possibility or likelihood, I should say, of coastal flooding tomorrow morning and again on Thursday morning, and then we start seeing the tides gradually get a little bit lower. What we're not seeing right now, though, big waves and strong swells. That would make conditions even worse. So again, the coastal flooding with us through Thursday. We're looking at the morning high tides likely topping eight feet. The water level is running about a foot to a foot and a half higher than normal conditions. That's giving us those near record levels of the tides. And it's going to be more of what you've been seeing, flooding of some parking lots and roads, homes, businesses, things of that nature. The other big weather story for us has to do with what's coming at the end of the week. So we've got an area of low pressure here, a storm system. It's about a thousand miles away from L.A. It's going to start to affect us in the next couple of days with clouds showing up. But rain, unfortunately, may arrive for our Halloween weekend here. So as we look at Futurecast going into, well, tomorrow is kind of a mix of clouds, early sun later in the day. Thursday, mostly cloudy, but we're not seeing any rain just yet. As we go into Thursday night, Friday morning, I think we start to find some very light showers showing up. That's a look at 7 a.m. on Friday. Going through the rest of the day Friday, maybe one or two isolated showers here or there. But the bulk of the moisture is coming this weekend. So switching it over to a wider view on the model here, and again, this is that same Friday time frame where we left off, a little bit of that spotty light rain here, but the low is still far away at this point, so that's going to bring the higher likelihood of more widespread or heavier rain whenever it arrives. But there's some question marks still on this. Not all models agreeing this far out. It's still several days out we're talking about. So here we are Saturday, Halloween, Saturday evening. I think there's some scattered, at least light rain in the forecast. We might get some heavier rain Sunday, but it depends on the track. This model brings us low a little farther south. Others suggest it's closer to us. So if it's more so right over us, we would get some heavier rain on Sunday. Quick look at tomorrow. We don't expect the rain, but clouds early, sun in the afternoon, temperatures topping out in the 70s. You see the highs right there. Very pleasant for tomorrow. It is going to get cooler at the end of the week. And our coolest day will be on Halloween, Saturday, highs only in the 60s. Christine. Former mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt is speaking out on social media tonight, follows billionaire Rick Caruso's announcement yesterday that he plans to vote for Mayor Karen Bass in next Tuesday's election. Pratt wrote, quote, Rick, you are the one who got me to run against Karen Bass in the first place. Last year, I hit you up and said I had to run for either governor or mayor. I didn't want to run against you out of respect. So I asked what I should do. you said go after Bass direct quote we'll be right back entertainment is sponsored by Yamava Resort Casino actress Susan St. James, best known for her roles in McMillan and Wife and Kate Nally has died at the age of 80 after battling pancreatic cancer.
