Residents of Los Angeles, Long Beach, and Pomona are being urged to take immediate precautions as a flash flood warning has been issued for these areas until midnight tonight. The National Weather Service issued the warning earlier today, citing heavy rainfall and the potential for rapid and dangerous flooding.

Authorities are urging residents to stay indoors and avoid traveling unless absolutely necessary. It is advised to monitor local news and weather reports for updates and to follow any evacuation orders issued by local authorities. Residents in low-lying areas or near rivers and streams should be especially cautious.
