Despite the booming thunder and some intense downpours, Long Beach only got a bit more than half an inch of rain overnight, but more was on the way Monday afternoon.
According to the National Weather Service monitoring station at Long Beach Airport, 0.65 inches of rain fell in the area Sunday night during the first storm of the winter season. The largest chunk of that came shortly after midnight when thunder and heavy rains hit.
Scattered showers continued Monday afternoon—including hail in some areas of Long Beach. Forecasters said the rain could continue into the evening.

Across Los Angeles, the NWS indicated that most of the county had received less than an inch of precipitation. But the isolated showers expected into Monday evening might change that.
Portions of Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties were hit harder, with some areas receiving more than an inch-and-a-half of rain.
For those looking for a trip to the mountains, Mountain High received up to 10 inches of snow, while Pine Mountain had about 6 inches. Lower-elevation Frazier Park received about 4 inches.
