Good morning, it's Tuesday and we are looking at another warm and sunny day before the rain comes again.
Quick Facts
- Today’s weather: Warm, sunny
- Beaches: 70s
- Mountains/deserts: 60s/70-79

It's going to be nice and sunny again at the beaches with highs in the low 70s. Inland, the average temperatures will stay in the upper 70s, up to 76 degrees in downtown Los Angeles, 79 degrees in Norwalk and up to 80 degrees in Woodland Hills.
Latest forecast on the storm
We've got two storms on the horizon, the first of which hits tomorrow night. Light if any rain will hit Ventura and L.A. county, more moderate rain will come to Santa Barbara. The front and the heaviest part of the first storm will come during Thursday morning rush hour for most of the Southland and is expected to bring steady rain for up to eight hours. We could see between 1 to 2 inches of rain during that period and we might see some moderate flooding.
The most interesting part is that warm water off the coast is going to give these storms some strength. And why is that happening? Well, it's a sign of El Niño.

Snow levels will start at 7,000 feet and come down to 5,500 feet Thursday night, bringing 1 to 2 feet of snow at resort levels.

We'll get a break from the rain come Friday night into Saturday. The second storm is expected to pick back up Sunday through Tuesday. Stay tuned for the latest updates.
