The storm system also prompted temporary beach closures in Orange and Los Angeles counties and led to scattered power outages.
While much of Los Angeles County saw storms off and on Wednesday, the weather system will shift to the mountains and the desert areas, according to Ryan Kittell, meteorologist with the National Weather Service.
While Orange County residents saw thunderstorms, lightning and thunder, there was no significant rainfall, Dan Gregoria, meteorologist with the National Weather Service, said Wednesday morning. “The showers and storms will disappear and die off ,” he said. “There would be isolated thunderstorms over the mountains Thursday afternoon.”
“There hasn’t been really much rain,” Gregoria said. “We have a dry atmosphere in the lower level. As the rain falls, a lot of it evaporates.” On Thursday, Kittell said we might see showers or thunderstorms in the mountains and desert areas in Los Angeles County in the afternoon.
