News Summary
Los Angeles is set for a mild weekend but will soon experience cooler temperatures as a cold front brings rain starting Monday evening. The weekend temperatures in the region will be pleasant, reaching highs of 81 degrees in the valleys and even 93 degrees in Palm Springs. However, the weather will shift with rain expected to peak at an 80% chance on Tuesday. Residents are advised to prepare for a significant drop in temperatures and possible wet conditions as the week progresses.
Los Angeles is set to experience a mild weekend, followed by a significant shift in weather as a cold front sweeps through Southern California. This front is expected to push cooler temperatures into the region and expel the tropical moisture that has lingered from the remnants of Hurricane Priscilla.
The weekend promises pleasant conditions before showers arrive next week. On Saturday, Los Angeles and Orange Counties can expect highs of 78 degrees and lows of 59 degrees. Similarly, the valleys and Inland Empire will see a high of 81 degrees and a low of 56 degrees. Coastal areas will enjoy sunny skies with temperatures reaching a high of 71 degrees and lows around 59 degrees. Mountain regions will be considerably cooler, with highs of 65 degrees and lows of 41 degrees, while the deserts will reach a high of 75 degrees and lows of 54 degrees. Palm Springs is forecasted to soar to 93 degrees this weekend.
However, significant changes are on the horizon. Rain chances will begin to return on Monday evening, with a 60% likelihood of night showers. The rain forecast will peak at 80% for most areas on Tuesday, bringing cooler temperatures across the region. Highs are expected to drop with the arrival of these showers, and overnight lows in mountain areas following Monday night are predicted to dip into the mid-to-upper 20s.
Upcoming Weather Events
Showers are also forecasted for Monday night into Tuesday, continuing the trend of precipitation that is expected to linger throughout the week. Tropical moisture still remains in the area, courtesy of Hurricane Priscilla’s remnants, which brought a mix of light rain and isolated thunderstorms on Thursday and Friday. Scattered showers are more likely inland and in mountain regions on Thursday, with lingering showers expected for desert and mountain communities on Friday.
Despite the forecast for rain, most of the region will remain relatively dry, with an estimated precipitation of .10 to .25 inches expected. Flood watches have also been issued for parts of Arizona, California, and Nevada due to the storms in the area. In addition, a tropical storm watch has been declared from Zihuatanejo to Cabo Corrientes, Mexico, relating to Tropical Storm Raymond, while Tropical Storm Priscilla remains situated approximately 165 miles west-southwest of Baja California, moving north-northwest at 8 mph with maximum sustained winds of about 45 mph.
Summary
In summary, Southern California residents can anticipate a beautiful and mild weekend ahead. Temperatures will be enjoyable before the weather changes next week, with rain expected Monday night into Tuesday. With chances of rain peaking at 80%, residents are encouraged to prepare for a shift in conditions. The calming weather prior to the onset of these changes provides an opportunity for outdoor activities, albeit briefly before the region faces cooler temperatures and wet conditions.
