Beginning on June 4, the effects of the unusual winter storm were beginning to be felt across Los Angles County, ranging from chilly, cloudy weather to downpours of rain. From June 5–6, the winter storm stalled off the coast of California while gradually weakening, while bringing thunderstorms and flash floods to parts of Southern California. The storm broke rainfall totals for the month of June in multiple parts of California, with a maximum total of 8.31 in of rain recorded at Big Sur in Southern California.
