Moisture from Tropical Storm Mario will increase the possibility of showers and thunderstorms in parts of Southern California.

Mario first gained tropical storm strength Friday before it weakened into a tropical depression just hours later.

Community gatherings, art exhibits, film screenings, live music, storytelling and more events commemorate the one year since Tropical Storm Helene.
