Sunshine Expected After the Last of Boris Departs

Light showers dampened the deserts and some coastal areas of Southern California on Sunday but were expected to clear by late evening, leaving behind partly cloudy skies and afternoon sunshine today.

Remnants of Hurricane Boris, a dying tropical storm off the California coastline, brought San Diego a second day of record-breaking rainfall for the month of June, according to the National Weather Service.

In Orange County, less than a hundredth of an inch of rain fell in Santa Ana and San Juan Capistrano, according to WeatherData Inc., which provides forecasts for The Times.

Nearly half an inch fell by late afternoon at Lindbergh Field in San Diego, breaking a 140-year-old record set the first year such data began to be measured in the city.

Light showers also fell on other areas around San Diego, with 0.75 of an inch falling on Escondido, and traces of rain dampening other areas, said Steve Burback of WeatherData Inc.

Rain was expected in the desert areas and eastern parts of Los Angeles County through Sunday evening, clearing by this morning, Burback said.

Meanwhile, downtown Los Angeles reached a muggy high of 80 degrees, with humidity ranging from 83% in the morning to 54% in the afternoon, Burback said.

Coastal areas were expected to have partly cloudy morning skies with sunshine in the afternoon today. Low clouds may hover again Tuesday morning but the days should get warmer with highs in the upper 70s to mid-80s and lows in the upper 50s to low 60s.
