00:00 Flash flood warnings are in effect this morning again in the Malibu area where
00:04 over a foot of rainfall happened in the Santa Monica Mountains just above town.
00:08 Malibu Creek is again flowing very rapidly and you can see all the flood
00:12 debris deposited on the beach here from a very flooded Malibu Creek over the
00:17 last couple of days. Now the heavy rain is focusing off to the south down near
00:21 the Oceanside area south Los Angeles Metro. New flash flood warnings have been
00:26 issued with a considerable tag down there and you can see that plume, that
00:30 plume of moisture that is coming into Southern California. The Weather
00:33 Prediction Center has a slight risk for excessive rainfall but localized
00:37 significant impacts today as the atmospheric river has weakened, settled a
00:43 little bit further south, but the individual rain echoes are moving a lot
00:46 slower and so there is heavy rain that's persisting for a lot longer and there is
00:50 up to an inch per hour rainfall rates happening within that band into the south
00:54 Los Angeles Metro already today. Day three of this significant atmospheric
00:59 river event. I've already heard of one fatality so far from this event so at
01:05 least that's good is that the people did stay off the roads for the most part as
01:09 this life-threatening flash flooding played out. It happened in the middle of
01:12 the night, the night before last, especially up in the eastern edge of the
01:16 Santa Monica Mountains. That's when a bulk of that rainfall happened but that's
01:20 also the worst timing when those flash floods happen in the middle of the night.
01:23 That's the most dangerous situation here but you can definitely see that the
01:27 heavy rain today is settling off to the south along the south side of the Los
01:31 Angeles Metro today. So certainly do heed those flash flood warnings. There is a
01:36 considerable tag on that one for life-threatening impacts down in the
01:40 south LA Metro. Definitely day three of this atmospheric river event but more
01:45 localized life-threatening impacts.
