Tropical Storm Marie Could Bring Rain to Southern California on Labor Day Weekend, but Most Impacts Likely to Drift Away From Land
Forecasters say Marie could bring 0.10 to 0.50 inches of rain, high surf and strong rip currents, with direct landfall still unlikely.
- Tropical Storm Marie is expected to intensify into a Category 1 hurricane on Wednesday, with sustained winds exceeding 75 mph, while remaining about 1,300 miles southeast of San Diego.
- Although the National Weather Service emphasized that direct landfall in Southern California remains "VERY LOW," the storm will generate life-threatening surf and strong rip currents through the Labor Day weekend.
- Meteorologists warn of a 50% to 60% chance of light rainfall from Sunday through Tuesday, while climate scientist Daniel Swain estimates a 20% to 25% chance of genuinely heavy thunderstorms that could cause flooding.
- Evening high tides will peak on Sunday between 6.5 to 6.8 feet and on Monday at approximately 7 feet, potentially creating coastal flooding and beach erosion in low-lying areas.
- The NWS will issue updated coastal advisories throughout the week as the system develops, with skies expected to dry up by Tuesday of next week.
