A cooling trend will continue across the Southland, bringing lower temperatures, gusty winds and a slight chance of light rain Tuesday evening.
After weeks of above-normal and record-setting heat, temperatures have dropped to more seasonally normal levels across the region.
According to the National Weather Service, temperatures were 10 to 15 degrees lower on Monday than they were Sunday.
“Further cooling will bring widespread high temperatures in the 60s and 70s Tuesday and Wednesday to the region,” according to the NWS. “… Onshore flow and cloudy skies will help further cool the region, providing at least a few days of relief from the seemingly endless heat that’s placed its grips across Southwest California for the last few weeks.”
That onshore flow is also expected to result in some gusty winds, particularly in the Antelope Valley and interior mountain areas.
There will also be a chance of some light rain late Tuesday through Thursday morning.
“If rain does fall, confidence is high that any totals will be very light,” according to the NWS. “Current rain amounts are favored to be 0.10 inches or less.”
Some warming is anticipated by the weekend.
