Below-average temperatures could mix with some light chances for rain in Southern California on Thursday as a cold front passes through the region.
High temperatures were expected to fall between 12 and 18 degrees on Thursday compared to Wednesday throughout the area, besides on the Central Coast which already saw dropping temperatures. Thursday highs included 60 in Los Angeles, 58 in Burbank, 56 in Santa Clarita, 59 in Anaheim, 57 in Laguna Beach, 60 in Riverside and 43 in Big Bear.
“It’s really cold and windy, that’s going to be the main thing,” KTLA’s Henry DiCarlo said. “Sweatshirt weather for some of you.”
Some scattered showers could roll through Southern California in the evening and nighttime hours, ahead of a wetter Friday, but totals weren’t expected to top out over more than a tenth of an inch or so. Some high-elevation areas could potentially see a light dusting of snow.
“Anytime we get measurable rain it’s worth talking about,” DiCarlo said. “I don’t want to over blow this, I don’t want to cause concern for you. I just want you to know it’s an inconvenience.”
According to the National Weather Service, most of Southern California could expect up to about one-half of an inch of rain between Thursday evening and Saturday.
