Public Works meteorologist Rand Allan has his forecast for the next few days.
A late spring storm will be moving down the West Coast tonight and tomorrow, and parking itself over Southern California from late Saturday evening through Tuesday evening and possibly Wednesday morning.
The air mass is cold, with temperatures 15-20 degrees below normal, and will be showery with a chance for thunderstorms Sunday and Monday, and a Sunday morning snow level of about 5000 feet. The ground is warm, so little snow will accumulate. Winds will be fairly strong in the mountains and deserts.
Expected rain totals through Wednesday morning have been increased to ½”-1” coast, 1”-2” mountains, and less than ¼” deserts.
The storm moves out of the area by Wednesday morning and slowly warming temperatures through the rest of the week.
