Southern California could feel more like Florida the rest of this week, forecasters said, as moisture from a tropical storm in the eastern Pacific shifts north, boosting humidity and the chance for unstable weather in the region. "The next several days, we're getting the remnants of the energy from Tropical Storm Mario," said Rich Thompson, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Oxnard. "It's giving us this threat of thunderstorms." Those storms could create fires from dry-lightning strikes or flash floods and debris flows depending on how strong they turn out to be, the National Weather Service warned.

there is potential for organisation of convection, possibly some thunderstorm developing, forming into linear multi-cell convective clusters or even one or two transitory supercell structures capable of producing locally damaging wind gusts and one or two brief isolated tornadoes. Intense rainfall leading to flash-flooding will also be a hazard with this activity. Strong and gusty winds are likely to cause some disruption to travel and interruptions to power.
