A Warm Weekend Could Turn into a Rainy Couple of Days in Southern California
Weekend Warmup Expected
Above-average temperatures are in store to kick off February in Southern California before another spell of wet and rainy weather, according to predictions. A weekend warmup is anticipated on Saturday with weather that is expected to be “fairly unexciting,” according to the National Weather Service.
Temperatures to Soar
Highs on Saturday and Sunday are expected to be in the mid-to-high 60s and low 70s across the region. Saturday highs include 67 degrees in Los Angeles, 69 in Glendale, 72 in Northridge, 67 in Thousand Oaks, 63 in Santa Monica, 69 in Anaheim, 71 in Riverside, 70 in Ontario, and 72 in San Bernardino.
Sunday to Be Slightly Warmer
On Sunday, highs are expected to be 1 or 2 degrees more than Saturday.
Rainy Weather on the Horizon
Meanwhile, while the Southland sees clear and sunny skies on the weekend, a low-pressure system looming over the Pacific Northwest will give stormy and rainy conditions to the neighbors up north. By Tuesday, the tail end of that system is expected to touch down in Southern California, giving the region another wet couple of days.
Rain Totals Expected
As far as rain totals, early predictions from Tuesday to Thursday show between 1 and 2 inches for San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties, between 0.5 and 1.5 inches for Ventura and Los Angeles counties, less than 0.5 inches for Orange County, and less than 0.3 inches in the Inland Empire.
Conclusion
While the weekend is expected to be sunny and warm, a change is on the horizon, with rain expected to move into the region by Tuesday. It’s a good idea to make the most of the sunny weather and plan outdoor activities for the weekend before the rain arrives.
