Cold, drizzly week ahead for Southern California

May 1, 2023

After a warm weekend for much of Southern California, temperatures began to drop on Sunday as a cold storm system makes its way across the region this week.

Light drizzle was expected to begin falling over Los Angeles and Orange counties Sunday evening and carry into the morning, with Sunday’s high temperatures in the 70s dropping into the mid 60s on Monday and slowly decreasing throughout the week, according to National Weather Service meteorologist Joe Dandrea.

Coastline communities will not feel much change after an already foggy weekend kept temperatures in the mid to low 60s.

The brunt of the storm is expected to arrive Tuesday evening and continue through the week, with Thursday as the strongest day, Dandrea said. The rain will be the heaviest in the morning and evening hours.

Riverside County communities will see the most notable drop in temperature this week with clear skies and highs in the 80s on Sunday dropping into the mid-60s on Monday and continuing to cool through Thursday.

There will be a chance of some thunderstorms on Wednesday and Thursday, but the overall rainfall isn’t expected to be more than about a third of an inch across most of the region, Dandrea said.

Meanwhile in San Bernardino County, where mountain residents were pummeled earlier this year by a rare blizzard, about one to two inches of snowfall above 5,500 feet is expected to drop this week. While light snow and drizzle overnight poses a danger to drivers on the mountain roads, there was not much concern on Sunday for any mudslides or debris flow, Dandrea said.

The rain will begin to taper off on Friday with sunny skies expected in time for the weekend, though temperatures should remain on the cooler side with a slight increase heading into the next week.
