Southern California: Get Ready for Some Rain!
Okay, SoCal, listen up! After a week of that typical SoCal drizzle and generally gloomy skies, we're about to get a serious dose of rain. I know, I know, it's been a while since we've had a real downpour. Get ready for a wet weekend, starting Saturday!
Friday: Cloudy with a Chance of…More Gloom?
Friday's forecast? More of the same, really. Cool, cloudy, and with a chance of that annoying patchy drizzle, especially in the morning. Think Los Angeles and Orange County will see highs around 65°F, maybe a little warmer inland, around 67°F. If you're near the beach, expect it to be a bit cooler, low 60s. The mountains might even see a few showers, and highs will only be in the 50s up there. The deserts? They'll stay sunny and breezy, with highs in the mid-60s. Honestly, who saw that coming after the past week?
Saturday: Here Comes the Rain!
Saturday's the big day, folks! The National Weather Service is calling for the heaviest rain in the morning and early afternoon. Now, it's not going to be a torrential downpour everywhere, but we're looking at some potentially heavier bursts of rain in certain spots. Los Angeles and Orange Counties should expect around a quarter-inch of rain, maybe more in some areas. Inland areas will see lighter rain, and even the beaches have a 30% chance of getting wet. It's even possible the desert might see a shower or two. And, yes, this might linger into Sunday morning.
Preparing for the Wet Stuff
So, what should you do? First, stay informed! Download the ABC7 Los Angeles or AccuWeather app – get those alerts turned on! Check local news for any warnings or advisories. The most important thing? Be prepared for some potentially slippery roads and reduced visibility. It's always a good idea to know whether there are any flood warnings for your area.
What About Next Week?
While Saturday's the main event, we might see a few lingering showers into Sunday. After that? The forecast looks mostly clear and mild. But remember, weather can change quickly, so keep an eye on those forecasts!
Stay safe, everyone, and stay dry!
