Cooler, Cloudy Weekend Predicted
A couple of storm fronts moving in tandem across Northern and Central California are not expected to bring rain to the southern part of the state, but the weather will be cooler and cloudier through the weekend.
At most, the National Weather Service said Thursday, there could be some drizzles near the mountains early today.
Today’s high temperature in downtown Los Angeles will probably be 66 to 70 degrees, as the marine air layer penetrates farther inland.
Morning cloudiness should give way to some afternoon sunshine, but not much. Saturday should be about the same.
The high downtown Thursday was 74. Relative humidity ranged from 81% to 46%.
It will be cooler and windy in both the deserts and the mountains.
April turned out to be unusually dry and warm, the weather service noted, allowing the Los Angeles area to slip behind in rainfall. Although the Civic Center customarily gets about an inch of rain during April, it got none last month. That left the season total at 12.59 inches, about 2 inches below normal, but a couple of inches over last season’s total for the date.
