The Daily Weather Update from FOX Weather: Repetitive rain to dampen a good portion of the US Tuesday
Start your day with the latest weather news – A stagnant weather pattern will keep the coasts stormy. Plus, new reports show what's lurking in the waters at some of your favorite beaches.
Rare June storms striking parts of California
The FOX Forecast Center is tracking a stormy stretch for most of California this week. June is typically the start of the dry season for the state, but that won't be the case, as nearly a half-inch of rain could fall through Friday. While that doesn't sound like much, remember that most locations in California average very little rain in June. In addition to the rain, thunderstorms with dangerous lightning will be possible, along with wind gusts to 30 mph.

Rain, rain, go away
A stormy stretch is in store for California this week as a stagnant low-pressure system will park just off the Southern California coast.
June is typically the start of the dry season for the Golden State, but California could get more than its monthly average for precipitation by Friday.

The FOX Forecast Center is also monitoring a low-pressure system over the Northeast that will bring showers and thunderstorms to the region through at least midweek.
This unusual pattern for June will bring below-average temperatures and several rounds of rain to parts of New England.

Rain will also continue in parts of the Plains and Rockies this week. Flash flooding will be possible as the stagnant weather pattern continues to funnel moisture into those regions.
In some places of the Rockies, between 1 and 3 inches of rain is expected over the next few days, the FOX Forecast Center said.

Beachgoers beware
If you're headed to a Northeast beach – beware! Clinging jellyfish have been spotted found creeping in waters off Jersey Shore.
The jellyfish are said to be mostly transparent with a single reddish-orange cross and 60 to 80 tentacles that can produce a "very potent" and severely painful sting that you might not feel until later.
Jersey Shore beachgoers in for a stinging summer surprise
A dangerous clinging jellyfish has been found in the waters off the Jersey Shore. Montclair State University professor Dr. Paul Bologna joined FOX Weather on Monday to explain why these jellyfish can be dangerous.
In California, groundbreaking new research shows how often sharks have been spotted swimming near beachgoers – and it's way more than you'd think.
"This study really dispels that myth that if a white shark I nearby, it will bite you," said Dr. Chris Lowe, author of the study. "We found that at these shark nurseries, sharks and people are sharing waves every single day without incident."

And good news for Florida beaches is a "surprise" drop in sargassum seaweed for the first time in over a decade, new satellite data shows.
After a record-setting 13-million-ton seaweed blob in March, new data shows the amount of seaweed in the Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt – from West Africa to the Gulf of Mexico – took a downward turn in May.
Massive amounts of sargassum seaweed smother Florida's beaches
Experts said Florida's Atlantic coastline sees the potential for record amounts of sargassum this year. FOX Weather multimedia journalist Brandy Campbell spoke with beach goers on the appearance of the seaweed.
So you're telling me there's a chance…
The National Hurricane Center is keeping its eyes on disorganized showers and thunderstorms in the northeastern Atlantic Ocean associated with a complex non-tropical area of low pressure. The NHC is giving the system a 10% chance of development over the next seven days.
