  "account": "Hurricane Marie, currently located about 700 miles south of Point Conception, is set to affect Southern California during Labor Day weekend. While the storm will remain offshore, tropical moisture from Marie will bring periods of rain, thunderstorms, dangerous surf, and an elevated risk of coastal flooding to the region. The National Weather Service (NWS) expects rainfall to begin early Sunday morning in Los Angeles County and last into Sunday evening, with most locations receiving around a quarter-inch of rain, though some areas may see more. A 15 percent chance of thunderstorms is forecast for Sunday, which could produce locally heavier downpours. Despite only a 5 percent chance of urban flooding, the wet conditions may cause roads to become slick. For beachgoers, significant coastal impacts are expected, with wave heights reaching 5 to 8 feet and potentially up to 10 feet on south-facing beaches. High Surf Advisories are in effect, and dangerous rip currents and strong surges are also anticipated. The NWS advises staying alert for rapidly changing conditions and using extra caution at beaches, particularly in vulnerable areas such as Avalon on Catalina Island, Long Beach's Alamitos Peninsula, and parts of the coast from Oxnard to Malibu.",
