"Unusual weather we're having, ain't it." --Cowardly Lion
According to the NWS, Los Angeles has a 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms this afternoon with some of the storms producing small hail (see half of the photo above). Skies will be partly sunny with a high near 55 and west southwest winds around 5 mph. Tonight we continue to cry icecubes with a low in the 30s and a 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms before 10pm.
Elsewhere in the area the cold is bringing weather hazards like frost advisories, storm warnings, snow and strong winds in the mountains and elevations to 1500-2000 feet, dangerous rip currents at the beach, and temps that are expected to fall quickly tonight with sub-freezing conditions across the region.
