The severe weather alerts were upgraded from the less-serious advisory, a flash flood watch.

Earlier in the day, watches were issued for Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino and Ventura counties. Those watches expired Monday evening.

According to the NWS alerts, scattered thunderstorms were expected in the mountains, deserts and inland valleys thanks to monsoonal moisture and daytime heating.

"We could even some of these thunderstorms drifting into the valleys of LA and Ventura County," said NBC4 meteorologist Elita Loresca.

The NWS warned residents to check later forecasts and "be prepared to take action should flash flood warnings be issued."
