In the Los Angeles area, the threat of monsoonal showers — including brief heavy downpours and gusty winds — will linger through the evening, the National Weather Service said. A flash flood watch has been issued across the Inland Empire, with rain totals in excess of 1 inch possible through the afternoon. “It is related to monsoon season, which runs July through September, but this is particularly strong,” said Matt Moreland, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in San Diego. Baldy was already the “rainfall winner,” with 0.37 inches by 5 a.m., said David Sweet, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Oxnard. The wettest July ever in the city was in 2015, when 0.38 inches of rain fell.
