Cloudy Skies and Drizzle Ahead for Southern California This Week

Hey Southern California! If you’re ready for a little change in the weather, you’re in for a treat this week—well, maybe not “treat” in the traditional sense. After enjoying some sunny days, we’re about to welcome a wave of cloudy conditions and possible drizzles all across the region!

Wednesday Weather Forecast

Wednesday is looking a bit gloomy with slightly below average temperatures making their debut. Don’t forget your umbrella! Morning fog and patchy drizzle are set to grace the coastal areas, giving off a perfect vibe for that cozy cup of coffee while watching the clouds roll in.

Expect little to no sunshine as the day goes on, with daytime highs hovering around 67°F. Don’t let that sound too thrilling, as nighttime lows will dip to around 53°F. So, if you’re heading out, maybe throw on a light jacket!

Regional Temperatures

Now, let’s take a glimpse into how our various hangouts around Southern California will fare.

  • Coastal areas will experience mostly cloudy skies with highs peeking at 60°F and lows in the mid-50s.
  • Mountain regions will kick off their day with clouds, gradually brightening up with highs around 59°F. Just a heads-up, though: wind gusts could reach 15 mph at night!
  • If you’re in Orange County, you’ll enjoy slightly warmer temperatures, reaching a peak of 69°F.
  • And in the Inland Empire, prepare for the warmest temps of the week, soaring into the mid-70s. Just a note: expect wind gusts up to 25 mph at night.

Keep your eyes peeled, as there is also a potential for a wind advisory in the foothill areas of the Antelope Valley on Wednesday evening!

The Rest of the Week: What to Expect

As we move into Thursday, things remain just as dreary with continued chances for drizzle. The onshore flow and persistent marine layer will help keep things cool over the next few days. In fact, keep your eyes open for possible light rain by Saturday!

On Thursday, Los Angeles and Orange counties are expected to have partly cloudy conditions, hitting highs of 69°F and facing morning drizzle. The valleys and Inland Empire will follow suit with similar weather patterns!

If you’re planning a beach day on Thursday, prepare for morning drizzle again, with highs reaching only around 63°F and lows at 52°F.

Mountain areas are where it’s at! They’ll enjoy sunny and breezy conditions, with temperatures reaching 62°F and nighttime lows going down to a chilly 31°F.

For those in the deserts, you’ll have the best of both worlds with sunny and windy weather that could see temperatures peak at 75°F and lows around 47°F.

Thunderstorms and Warnings

As we wrap up, keep in mind that parts of the region may experience thunderstorms through Thursday night. The Santa Clarita Valley is under caution for potential half an inch of hail and wind gusts hitting up to 50 mph!

The National Weather Service is warning about possible gusty winds, which can cause damage to tree limbs and unsecured objects. If you’re planning any outdoor adventures, know that dangerous lightning and flash flooding could be issues, so drive safely on wet roads during your evening commutes!

On a closing note, staffing cuts at the National Weather Service may impact forecasts, adding a little uncertainty to our already unpredictable weather. But don’t worry; we’ll keep you updated on any changes!

That’s all for now, Southern California! Stay warm and prepared as we navigate through this cloudy spell!
