Freezing temperatures expected tonight in parts of Los Angeles County
Forecasters expect freezing temperatures in some parts of Los Angeles County on Sunday night.
A mass of cold air followed the storm systems that brought rain to the area on Thursday and Friday, said Scott Sukut, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Oxnard.
Mountain, coastal and some valley areas should see temperatures below freezing Sunday night in what could be one of the coldest nights of the year.
In the Antelope Valley, temperatures are expected to dip into the mid- to low teens, Sukut said. That could cause pipes to burst and harm animals left outside overnight.
Across the rest of the Los Angeles Basin, temperatures will drop to the low 40s, with even colder temperatures predicted in the western part of the San Fernando Valley, Sukut said.
No precipitation is expected, Sukut added, but some frost could form overnight.
Temperatures are expected to warm back up on Monday, with highs in the upper 60s to mid-70s.
