A model of fresh and humid time will probably bring April showers in southern California in the coming days.
The dreary trend is expected to start on Friday morning, with the possibility of an “unequal drizzle” developing from a deep sea layer on a large part of the region, according to forecasts from the National Weather Service. The Los Angeles region could see larger precipitation on Saturday while a low pressure system sets in.
“It will be fresher, cloudy and humid on Saturday,” said Carol Smith, a meteorologist from the National Meteorological Service based in Oxnard. “It’s a storm at the end of the season.”
Precipitation across the County of Los Angeles could extend to a quarter of a thumb on Saturday, with about half a pump in the mountains, she said. While probable showers arrive late in the rainy season, they are not unprecedented for this period of the year.
The city center of Los Angeles generally sees about three-quarters of rain throughout April. So far, this monthly total is at 0.09 inch, according to the National Weather Service. Much of southern California remains in drought conditions after a rainy season below average.
The incoming model will also provide significant cooling.
Throughout the region, the summits should be at the bottom in mid-60 years on Friday, Smith said, while Saturday will be fresher for a few degrees.
“On Sunday, it’s going to warm up a bit,” said Smith, returning more to a springtime.
On Monday, the county valleys should see heights in the 1970s.
