Thunderstorms With Hail Cause Flood, Wind Alerts Across Southern California

News summary

Southern California is experiencing a series of thunderstorms and unstable weather conditions, with impacts across Los Angeles, Ventura, San Diego, and the San Gabriel Valley. The National Weather Service has issued multiple alerts, including flood advisories and flash flood warnings for low-lying areas, as well as warnings about strong thunderstorms with hail, wind gusts up to 50 mph, and lightning risks. Areas such as Pomona, Glendora, Covina, Whittier, and West Covina are expected to see pea-sized hail and gusty winds that could cause minor damage and dangerous travel conditions. Lightning poses a significant hazard, particularly in drought-affected eastern San Diego County where flammable chaparral vegetation is prevalent, and residents are urged to seek immediate shelter if thunder or lightning occurs. The storms may bring localized flooding and debris flows but are expected to subside by the weekend, with temperatures warming up again next week. Safety precautions include avoiding flooded roadways, seeking shelter indoors, and waiting 30 minutes after the last thunder before going outside.
