Weather Forecasters Predict Drizzle and Showers on Way
There is more rain on the way, forecasters say, but not a lot of it.
Janice Roth, a meteorologist with WeatherData Inc., which provides forecasts for The Times, said some drizzle this morning should be followed by some showers tonight and Wednesday as a storm system off the coast of Oregon moves into Southern California.
“There should be a few showers in Santa Barbara by Tuesday afternoon and some more in the Los Angeles area by Tuesday night,” she said. “The storm should hang around Wednesday, then move out, with partial clearing on Thursday.
“It’s hard to say just how much rain will fall, but probably not a lot. Maybe .05 of an inch in Los Angeles to as much as a quarter of an inch in the mountains.”
Roth said that while it is still a little early to tell, it looks as if it will be a while before the Southland gets more of the hot, dry, sunny weather experienced earlier this month. She said preliminary forecasts call for variable cloudiness over the weekend, with temperatures remaining on the cool side.
The high temperature at Los Angeles Civic Center on Monday was 69 degrees, after an overnight low of 58--typical readings for this time of year. Relative humidity ranged from a minimum of 57% to a maximum of 83%.
Today’s forecast for the metropolitan area calls for high temperatures in the low to mid-60s and lows in the low to mid-50s.
