Malibu Braces For Rainy, Muddy, Windy Weekend

MALIBU, CA — Two days before the anniversary of the Woolsey Fire, rain is rushing to Malibu.

The National Weather Service gives rain a 70 percent chance of falling in Malibu Saturday, right after a mini-heatwave had temperatures as high as 90 in nearby Calabasas and Agoura Hills. Thunderstorms are also possible after 10 a.m.

The rain and possible showers also coincide with gusts as high as 35 mile-per-hour winds that have led the National Weather Service to issue a high surf advisory along the coast in Los Angeles and Ventura counties from 4 p.m. Friday to 4 p.m. Sunday. Rip currents and breaking waves of five to eight feet are expected along the coast.

Still, the LA Department of Public Works does not anticipate any danger of mudslides.

Sunday will also be cold, wet, and windy. There is 40 percent chance of showers with a high near 60 and gusts of up to 35 miles an hour. The sun will come back around 4 p.m, and next week will be sunny and in the low 60s.

Similar weather is expected all over the Southland, with up to one-and-a-half inches of rain, 45 mph winds, and temperatures in the upper 50s and lower 60s extending down the coast.
