Los Angeles, California – A more active February pattern is expected to develop across Southern California through late week, bringing above-normal chances for rain and ending a stretch of relatively dry conditions. The shift could lead to periodic travel slowdowns and renewed attention to burn scar areas as storms become more frequent.
According to the National Weather Service Climate Prediction Center, the 6–10 day outlook from February 10–14 favors above-normal precipitation across much of Southern California. Storm systems tracking across the eastern Pacific are expected to tap into increased moisture, raising the likelihood of measurable rainfall across coastal, valley, and foothill communities.
In Los Angeles, Orange County, and the Inland Empire, periods of rain are expected to become more common, with locally heavier showers possible at times. Roadways such as Interstate 5, Interstate 10, U.S. 101, and State Route 91 could see slick conditions during peak commute hours. Farther south, San Diego County also faces increased rain chances, while mountain areas may see snow at higher elevations, potentially affecting travel along Interstate 8 and mountain highways.
Residents in flood-prone and recently burned areas should remain alert for rapid runoff during heavier showers. Drivers are encouraged to slow down on wet roads and allow extra time for travel.
This wetter pattern is expected to persist through late week, and additional advisories may be issued as individual storm systems approach.
