A supermoon - the closest such moon to the Earth this year - is wreaking havoc with ocean tides up and down the state's coast just as an atmospheric river storm moved through Northern California. The "Beaver Moon" has brought with it king tides. And forecasters say that Southern California could see dangerous rip currents and an increased risk of drowning from large breakers, as well as the chance of coastal flooding over the next two days.

A deep, low-pressure storm system moving from the Pacific Northwest to California's Central Coast arrived Monday and, along with it, periods of heavy downpours and turbulent seas that parked a loose sailing vessel on the beach in Santa Cruz overnight and sent a possible localized tornado to an organic farm along the North Coast.

More rain and wind were forecast Wednesday along the Alaska coast where two tiny villages were decimated by the remnants of Typhoon Halong and officials were scrambling to find shelter for more than 1,500 people driven from their homes. The weekend storm brought high winds and surf that battered the low-lying Alaska Native communities along the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta in the south-western part of the state, nearly 500 miles (800km) from Anchorage. At least one person was killed and two were missing.

After some sunshine to start the long weekend, a coastal storm will slowly move in, bringing "wind, rain, minor coastal flooding and erosion late Sunday into Tuesday," according to meteorologists. Cindy Fitzgibbon, WCVB: 'Rain is slow to spread in from the south late Sunday but will linger into Tuesday' NEXT 7 DAYS...Sunshine into Saturday. A slow-moving coastal storm brings wind, rain, minor coastal flooding and erosion late Sunday into Tuesday. Potential for 1-3" rain and wind gusts to 50mph on Cape Cod.

Vietnam was rushing to evacuate more than 250,000 residents from coastal areas on Sunday as Typhoon Bualoi closed in to make landfall. Authorities have also closed four coastal airports, including Danang International Airport. They have also called all fishing boats in the typhoon's path back to harbor. Thousands of troops have been mobilized to be able to provide assistance. Bualoi hit the neighboring Philippines days ago, killing at least 10 and causing widespread flooding.

Hurricane Erin weakened to a Category 3 storm, with maximum sustained winds of 125 mph, but is expected to regain size and strength in the coming days.

Tropical Storm Chantal, located about 95 miles southeast of Charleston, South Carolina, has maximum sustained winds of up to 50 mph.
