The primary risks associated with this tropical disturbance include elevated surf along the Southern California coastline and a slight chance of rainfall over the weekend. Coastal areas may experience swells, which could pose risks to swimmers and small watercraft. However, meteorologists emphasize that the system is unlikely to develop into a hurricane due to the cold waters off the California coast. The potential for significant rainfall remains low, with only a 20% chance of precipitation. Residents are advised to stay updated as the situation evolves.
