We are tracking a rainy start to the weekend, which seems to be a cooler one indeed.
Some inland areas could see up to .25” of rain throughout Saturday! Our coastal areas will be closer to the .10” range.
Mountains could see also .25” but with a chance of snow as well! Snow levels will be dropping close to 5,000/4,000 ft, so some of the higher mountain peaks could get an inch of wet snow.
We also are tracking a Beach Hazards Statement that is in effect through late Saturday morning.
This, along with the King Tides, means we are tracking waves up to 6 feet and sets up to 8 feet!
Rip currents will also be strong- and we could see flooding in low lying beach areas and parking lots.
Along with the wintery wet weather, we’re also seeing wintery temperatures!
Temperatures will be well below average for this time of year- about 10-15 degrees below normal.
That won’t be lasting very long though!
A mid-week warm up will be bumping our temps back up, as well as bring some potential for Santa Ana winds.
The Santa Ana wind event would be starting close to Tuesday and last through Thursday.
This ridge would also bring some areas of the county into the 80s!
Saturday’s Highs:
Coast: 63-68°
Inland: 63-66°
Mountains: 47-55°
Deserts: 66-70°
