Spring showers and below-normal temperatures are in the forecast for Southern California during the first week of May.
Light showers and drizzle arrived early Monday ahead of the morning drive.
“We’re starting off cloudy with areas of drizzle,” said NBC4 forecaster Belen De Leon.
Afternoon highs will be in the low- to mid-60s for most areas with highs dipping into the 50s in mountain communities. Wind speeds will increase throughout the day.
Here’s what to expect for the rest of the week.
When Will It Rain?
After light showers Monday, more significant rainfall is in the forecast Tuesday through Thursday due to the unseasonably cold storm.
Coastal and valley areas will see .25 to .75 inches of rain. Mountain communities will receive a half-inch to one inch.
The heaviest precipitation arrives mid-week.
“Late Wednesday into Thursday, we’re going to get a colder push of air,” said De Leon. “That’s going to drop the snow level.”
Mountain areas also can expect gusty winds and more snow, possibly 4 to 8 inches above 5,000 feet.
