Wednesday was the last very pleasant, warm and dry day, and noticeable cooling starts Thursday. Rain is expected Thursday night, setting up a cooler, wetter Friday and a rough stretch along Ventura County beaches.
Rain Arrives Thursday Night
The National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard office expects rain Thursday night, with an overnight low near 56 and roughly a tenth to a quarter-inch of rainfall possible, according to the National Weather Service.
Friday Turns Cooler And Wetter
Friday will bring rain, mostly cloudy skies and a high near 76 degrees, with about one-third to one-half inch of rain possible. The wet weather continues Friday night, with gusty winds possible.
Saturday Starts Damp Then Clears
The Friday front should exit the area around noon Saturday, with additional cooling and a high near 69 degrees. Sunday should be dry and milder at around 70 degrees.
Dangerous Surf Builds Along Ventura Beaches
A Beach Hazards Statement remains in effect through Monday morning as large surf and dangerous rip currents threaten Ventura County beaches, with possible warning-level surf along the Ventura coastline. The surf and rip currents pose hazards to beachgoers.
The same coastal pattern could bring beach erosion and shallow flooding over low-lying walkways, parking areas and roads, especially around high tide. Rock jetties and exposed shoreline areas will be particularly dangerous as the swell strengthens Friday night and peaks this weekend.
More Rain Chances Return Next Week
Monday stays unsettled, with rain likely, a high near 67 degrees and a chance of additional showers Monday night. Tuesday should be dry, while more rain is possible Wednesday or Thursday, though the timing remains uncertain.
