As Hurricane Marie intensifies and moves in the Pacific, Southern California braces for potential impacts. While the hurricane is not expected to make direct landfall, forecasts indicate dangerous surf and possible coastal flooding for the region, particularly in San Diego. Preparations are underway, including sandbag distribution along the coast. Meanwhile, Arizona is expecting thunderstorms and increased rain chances due to moisture from the storm. Experts advise caution as high surf conditions may pose risks for beachgoers, and a flood watch has been issued for several areas. Residents are encouraged to stay informed and prepare for possible rainfall and shoreline impacts over the Labor Day weekend.
