Weekend Storm Drenches Redondo Beach, More Rain Coming Forcast Says

REDONDO BEACH, CA — Rainstorms dumped a significant amount of rain on Redondo Beach over the weekend, and more is on the way according to weather forecasters.

Over the last week, Redondo Beach got a total of 1.57 inches of rain according to Los Angeles County Public Works.

Most of Los Angeles County’s coastline saw between one and four inches of rain over the last seven days.

The San Gabriel Mountains logged the most amount of rainfall in the last seven days in Los Angeles County according to the National Weather Service. According to Public Works, the area near Cogswell Dam got 4.33 inches

This recent storm brought a variety of dramatic weather conditions throughout Southern California, including a horse and a rider needing to be rescued from a muddy riverbed in Santa Ana.

Following the downpour, LA County beaches were put under a health advisory as high levels of bacteria are expected for at least 72 hours after significant rainfall.

“Bacteria levels can increase significantly during and after rainstorms, as contaminants within the runoff enters the ocean,” according to the Los Angeles Department of Public Health. “Elevated bacteria levels in ocean water may cause illness, especially in children and the elderly.”

A second rainstorm is forecasted to hit the county this weekend with the largest chance of rain being on Sunday and Monday, according to the National Weather Service. Forecasters said temperatures will be much lower than normal but the rainstorm will likely be weak.

"Given the recent significant rainfall, there is the threat for minor flooding where higher rainfall rates/amounts occur," the weather service said.
