The National Weather Service says rain is coming this weekend. The latest forecast models say that starting Friday night going into Saturday, the Southland could see some light rain. There will be a small break before light-to-moderate rainfall comes all day Sunday through Monday morning, producing about 2 inches of rainfall.
"High temperatures are probably only going to be in the lower to mid 60s in most areas," meteorologist Dave Bruno said. "Instead of having valley temperatures in the 30s, and downtown temperatures in the lower to mid 40s. It's going to be quite a bit warmer with low temperatures at night in the mid 40s to lower 50s everywhere."
In other words, not so warm during the day, but not so cold at night either.
About those advisories
Air quality officials have issued a no-burn alert for today for L.A., Riverside, San Bernardino and Orange counties. With high air pollution in today's forecast, residents are asked not to burn wood outdoors or indoors, even in fireplaces.
This day in history
On this day in 1993, a series of storm systems rampaged over the Southland that began Jan. 6 through Jan. 19, 1993, bringing up to 50 inches of rain in the mountains.
