Hail And Thunder In LA! Rain Will Continue Into Tomorrow, Possibly Friday
The steady rain has arrived in L.A. and it will likely continue through tomorrow, with a chance of showers Friday.
We even got some pea-sized hail (!!) and thunder at noon today in La Cañada Flintridge:
And this was — one of the scenes — from the 818:

You can expect high tempertures in the 50s at the coast and farther inland, 60s in the Coachella Valley, and down to the 40s in the Antelope Valley.
The rainfall totals will range from around one inch at the coast to 1.5 to 2.5 inches in the foothills. Amounts in the deserts will mostly be less than one-quarter inch.
There's also a winter storm warning for the mountains through tomorrow night, with snow getting down to 3,000 feet. Above 4,500 feet, there could be half-a -foot to a foot of snow.
Dry weather is expected later Friday through Sunday with warmer temps, but but still cooler than normal.
And another round of light rain is possible next Monday or Tuesday.
As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
