Los Angeles, typically known for its sunshine and clear skies, is bracing for a string of wet weather, according to the latest forecasts. With an anticipated 50 percent chance of overnight showers, temperatures are expected to drop to a low of around 55 degrees, as reported by the National Weather Service. Angelenos may need to keep their umbrellas handy, as the chance of rain increases to 60 percent on Sunday, with the high temperature hovering near a cool 61 degrees.
As the new week begins, the likelihood of precipitation is set to sharply rise, giving the city a 90 percent chance to receive rain and possibly even thunderstorms before Monday afternoon. The forecast suggests that new rainfall could range between three quarters and one inch, providing a substantial soaking to the drought-stricken region. The National Weather Service advises that gusts on Monday might reach speeds of up to 20 mph, signaling a storm that has the potential to interrupt the daily grind of city life.
Even as the rain tapers off on Monday night, with a reduced 50 percent chance of showers before 10 pm, the residents of Los Angeles are expected to emerge on Tuesday to mostly sunny skies and a high near 66 degrees, a slight relief after the storm's departure. The clear weather isn't predicted to last though, as Wednesday night will see the clouds returning, setting the stage for a partly sunny Thursday.
However, it's not all gray skies ahead. The forecast offers a glimpse of respite toward the end of the week, with sunny conditions slated for Friday and a warming trend that will likely carry into the weekend. Temperatures are projected to climb, reaching a high of near 71 degrees on Friday and peaking at 74 degrees by Saturday, as published by the National Weather Service.
