Malibu got about a half inch of rain overnight on the beaches, a little more up in the mountains, with no flooding problems evident yet. A big band of rain came ashore in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties overnight but fizzled before reaching us.
More rain is possible, and if daytime heating cooks the clouds, we could get a thunderstorm this afternoon, though the forecast is not certain.
Right now there is an 80 percent chance of showers for the rest of the day and a 40 percent chance tonight. The National Weather Service says the forecast does not reduce the threat for damaging winds or even a brief weak tornado — a 5 percent chance later today.
Dry, warm weather returns Friday and Saturday, with the previously forecast Santa Ana winds now petering out.
The ocean is predicted to see waves of three to six feet. The next high tide is 5.8 feet at 7:31 tonight.
