A modest storm brought light showers to the Los Angeles region early Saturday, with a rain scheduled until Sunday morning, according to the National Weather Service.
The rain on Saturday is expected to dissipate around noon, and the “unequal and sparse” showers will continue throughout the day, said National Weather Service Bryan Lewis meteorologist.
With the rain, it will be unusually cold: temperatures will fall to the 1950s on Saturday. And in the Antelope valley, they will descend in the 1950s.
“Today, maximum temperatures are quite cold – especially for this time of year,” said Lewis.
On Sunday, the rain will give way to a partially cloudy sky, with temperatures in Los Angeles which warm up in the 60s.
In all, the storm could produce about a quarter of a thumb in the low areas, and as much as a half-puck in the foothills, said Lewis.
But the precipitation totals follow the typical quantity received in Los Angeles by a wide margin. Excluding the bruins on Saturday, the city center had seen 7.88 inches of rain since October 1. On average, the area receives 13.63 inches over the same period, said Lewis.
And the rain on this section of about seven months is below the amount received during the same section a year ago, when it was flooded with 22.02 inch, he said.
