Showers Making a Sporadic Appearance in the Southland
Sporadic, mild rain showers fell throughout portions of Southern California on Saturday while the same low-pressure system pounded parts of the San Gabriel Mountains with quarter-inch-sized hail.
By evening, Angeles Hill in Riverside County had reported .04 of an inch of rain, Mt. Wilson recorded .02 and Big Bear had .01, said Scott Entrekin, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service. Hail was spotted on Mt. Wilson.
“It’s pretty much hit-and-miss-type shower activity,” said Entrekin, adding that more of the same was expected through Tuesday. “A few will get it, but unfortunately most won’t.”
Accompanying the showers were slightly lower than normal temperatures. Most areas around Los Angeles averaged about a five-degree drop from the usual 80-degree weather, according to Steve Burback, a meteorologist for WeatherData Inc., a weather forecasting service for The Times in Wichita, Kan.
