Halloween storm brewing for SoCal

Looking forward, temperatures will continue to decline as the onshore flow pushes in. Looking back at October, as we slowly close it out with Halloween, temperatures could be the coolest of this week. We've had quite a bit of rain, nearing a 7 tenths of an inch of rain for the entire month, so that's good news. And we could add more rain into our rain bucket, and unfortunately, that possibility of rain arrives on Halloween day. There may be a sporadic shower ahead of the bulk of the system, even as early as tomorrow 10 to maybe 20 percent chance pushing into friday but the bulk of the system saturday sometimes saturday evening overnight into sunday take a look at our rain forecast you can see here we're looking at percentages driving up to now 50 to perhaps even 60 percent and sunday about a 40 percent chance of rain so the takeaway here is you want to prepare for rain if you are having the halloween parties if you're taking the kids out to go trick-or-treating have that umbrella handy and of course depending on what the weather conditions are like you may curtail your outdoor activities here's a look at the future cast thursday as i mentioned pops of green on the map they're pushing into friday and a subtropical moisture associated with this area of low that's going to help grab that moisture into southern california you can see widespread rain light to moderate times but again we will have a better idea going into tomorrow as it gets closer of course to halloween temperatures trending today 70s sunshine a few more clouds we'll call it partly sunny partly cloudy and then here comes the rain opportunities even for ontario temperatures will sink in the upper 60s and 70s and yes the coastal flood concerns continue to be impacting much of our coastal areas near record-breaking high tides we've got king tides again the range of 7.5 to even 8 over 8 possible today perhaps maybe a little less high than yesterday but almost near not even barely noticeable tidal overflow street closures and beach erosion expected and all this is of course due to the fact that we are in an El Niño year we We have the king tides due to the gravitational pull of the moon and yes, the Kelvin waves that pulse of warm water due to heat expansion elevating our tidal heights to about six inches to maybe even a foot above normal for this time of year. Some incredible stuff that we're seeing and we've got team coverage due to the widespread impacts for the king tides.
