It's raining, but it's not pouring, and it's not going to, Los Angeles!

Welcome back, Sun! The stormy weather we've had for the past three days is heading out and it's time to welcome a warming trend. As usual after a stormy session, the air mass is still unstable, so there may be some isolated showers around the Southland this morning along with temperatures in the high 60s to low 70s, which will drop to the low 50s overnight, according to Bill Hoffer at the National Weather Service in Oxnard. more ›

The summer of 2010 was bound to be remembered for cool temperatures across Los Angeles and a stubborn El Niño-enhanced marine layer blanketing the west side. And then it became Fall.

As Summer goes, this hasn't been much of one. Temperatures have been cooler, clouds have been hanging above... this is June Gloom on extension. What's been happening iis that cooler ocean temperatures mixed with inland heat coming towards the coast has created a low and dense marine layer, according to the Daily Breeze. more ›

If there's anything to say about today, it's that you could call it a mixed bag. The Los Angles region's varied geography is showing its pretty self off today. Temperatures are expected to reach over 100 in some areas today -- most notably, the valleys -- while some areas have already seen (and others are to see) some scattered showers, according to the LA Times. Some inland areas have even seen hail, flash flooding and thunderstorms, the latter which have caused multiple fires between the Inland Empire and San Diego County. The excessive heat advisory is expected to last through Saturday. more ›

It's very hot out. And it will continue to be throughout the weekend, so L.A. city officials this afternoon are pointing to places where the public can take a break and cool down indoors.

Additionally, seven San Fernando Valley Recreation and Parks and Senior Centers locations will be open on the weekend (full list below). For specifics information, people can call 3-1-1. more ›

The National Weather Service has issued an excessive heat watch for many areas of Southern California, including the valleys and mountain areas. With a very large high pressure system building over the next few days, monsoonal moisture -- that's a plume or flow of moist unstable air channeling into a particular area -- from the Gulf of Mexico has come to the Southland. All that said, there's going to be some humidity. more ›

Angelenos are reacting to the hotter temperatures today by using more energy. So much, in fact, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power sent out a note urging conservation. "Any time energy demand exceeds this level we need to begin conserving wherever possible, while not jeopardizing anyone's health or safety," said Raman Raj, LADWP Chief Operating Officer. "Saving power not only conserves energy but also reduces the possibility of strain on power system infrastructure." Today, energy demand reached 5,268 megawatts. Tomorrow, when temperatures will exceed 100 degrees in the Valley, it's expected to reach up to 5,600. more ›

Today's sunshine and high temps will be a thing of memory by tomorrow and for the next few days as a rain system is poised to chill out the Southland, according to the Daily News. more ›

The other day, while filling up the Brita pitcher, we noticed that the tap water was an eerie whitish-shade, and didn't know quite what to make of it. The LADWP can explain, though: "What the eye sees as cloudy, even milky, water is actually undissolved air escaping in the form of bubbles." So when the temperature of the water in pipes underground is lower than room temp, the resulting air bubbles make our tap water look cloudy. Is it safe? Yes. What can you do? "Chill out, as they say," chides the DWP. "Fill your glass, let it rest for a minute or two and you will see the bubbles disappear from the bottom up." Customers in the San Fernando Valley will be far more likely to experience this phenom, too, by the way. more ›

Rain could make it a bummer of an Oscars Sunday, but you never know as chances of rain are all over place. "We've got a mixed bag coming," explained Bill Hoffer, a spokesman for the National Weather Service, this morning. more ›

The rain is headed back and the National Weather Service is expecting it to hit the Los Angeles area beginning tomorrow, persisting through the night. That could mean another half to one-inch in the coastal and valley areas and up to 1.5 inches in the foothills and lower elevations of the mountains, which means more concern for mudslide prone areas. At higher elevations, snow levels are expected to drop drastically between 3,500 to 4,000 feet tomorrow afternoon and then as low as 2,000 feet overnight. That means the Grapevine could be facing a possible closure in addition to some snowball fights on the Antelope Valley floor. There's also a slight chance of rain on Friday. Otherwise, expect clear skies with highs in 60s and lows in the upper 40s throughout the week. more ›

There's still more rain to come, says the National Weather Service, which predicts a real chance of rain by Friday afternoon and evening, persisting through the night and into Saturday morning with a chance of thunderstorms. As for today, expect mostly cloudy skies and cool temperatures--highs in the low 60s. About 1 to 2 inches of rain in the coastal/valley areas and 2 to 4 in the foothills/mountains are predicted to fall. As for snow, it's good news for boarders: the snow level should drop to 7,000 feet on Friday and then to 4,500 on Saturday. Over a foot is expected at resort level, with less than 6 inches below 6,000 feet, probably sparing the Grapevine from closure. more ›
