NEWPORT BEACH, CA — Bring out those sandbags, Newport Beach: days of rain are projected to hit your town starting Thursday night, according to the National Weather Service.
The showers are a part of an atmospheric river bringing rainfall to the brunt of Southern California.
"Potential atmospheric river activity could bring enhanced moisture to much of the West Coast during mid-November," National Weather Service representatives told KTLA. "Strong surface low pressure just north of the region could also likely drive high winds along the immediate coastline."
In Newport Beach, here's what residents can expect throughout the week:
On Wednesday, Newport Beach residents will enjoy a sunny, warm day with temperatures ranging from 84 degrees to 85 degrees.
Thursday will be slightly cooler, forecasters said. Rains may happen overnight Thursday, but will likely start Friday night, according to the service.
Rain showers were predicted in Newport Beach for Saturday, Sunday and Monday, according to the service.
The predicted rain follows a Coastal Flood Advisory, which impacted all coastal Orange County towns Monday and Tuesday, bringing higher-than-usual tides and localized flooding.
