Happy Friday. We're in for a weather pattern swing as weekend temperatures into early next week will be much warmer before another rain event comes to the Southland as early as Thursday.
Quick Facts
- Today’s weather: Sunny, warm
- Beaches: 68-69
- Mountains: 50s/60-73
- Inland: 70s
- Warnings and advisories: High surf
Average temperatures at the beaches today will reach up to 69 degrees — more inland, highs will reach up to 73 degrees with lots of sunshine.
For the weekend, we're looking at highs in the mid to upper 70s with nighttime lows in the lower 50s, upper 40s. Now is the best time to go on hikes or even take a stroll in Griffith Park where hidden discoveries await.
Ventura County beaches will see more high surf today until 4 p.m. — large breaking waves of 5 to 8 feet and local sets up to 10 feet is possible during high tide.
Look ahead
There's talk of rain in the forecast for next Thursday and weather forecasters are seeing an atmospheric event heading to California.
It's still not certain if it will come to the Southland, but if the jet stream happens to come to SoCal, you should be prepared for some flooding. Now's the time to clear those gutters, check your tires, and grab sandbags from your local fire station.
