It is not even April yet, but Angelenos can have an early taste of May Gray and June Dous in the coming days.
Forecastists provide a large extent of temperatures below average with a chance of precipitation.
“It will be at least a week – eight or nine days – of this rainy and cool scheme,” said Mike Wofford, a meteorologist from the National Weather Service in Oxnard. “We are going to be cooler than normal, probably next week, so use it.”
Temperatures should stay in the 1960s, several degrees below normal, for next week. The average for this time of year is around 71 degrees in downtown Los Angeles, Wofford said. Friday High had to reach 66 degrees, before falling during the weekend.
“We operate about 3 to 8 degrees below normal, and it will remain like that or even become a little fresher,” said Wofford.
A series of storms of the northwest Pacific leads this fresh, cloudy and humid model, the first of which could draw precipitation in the Southland on Sunday.
But it is supposed to bring light rain, perhaps up to a tenth inch in certain regions, Wofford said. And even if there is a chance for more storms next week, he said that it is unlikely that everything would bring the total of the week above half a pump.
However, with forecasts that are still a little uncertain, the possibility of strong precipitation is not completely excluded, according to the modeling of the meteorological service.
Although precipitation is a particularly dull start for April, the change of time could bring a certain relief to the dry landscape of southern California, which remains in serious drought conditions, according to the American drought instructor.
