The Los Angeles area is bracing for some light rain on Monday morning, according to weather forecasts. The rain is expected to start late Sunday and taper off by Monday afternoon. However, residents should prepare for a chill that will linger throughout the week.
Kristan Lund, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Oxnard, explained that Sunday would begin mostly cloudy, with rain moving in overnight. She noted that the area could see between a quarter and half an inch of rain, with the most precipitation likely in the foothills.
The heaviest rain is anticipated around 10 or 11 p.m. Sunday, followed by lighter showers in the morning. Lund reassured that this light rain should not pose any threat to areas affected by debris flow, as the expected rainfall is minimal.
The cooler temperatures are a result of a weather system moving in from the Pacific Northwest. After the rain ends on Monday, residents can expect temperatures to remain five to twelve degrees below average for several days. Lund indicated that this chilly weather could last through most of the week, with conditions returning to normal by the weekend.
In summary, while the rain may not be substantial, it will bring a noticeable drop in temperatures to the Los Angeles area. Residents are advised to dress warmly and be prepared for a damp start to the week.
