Los Angeles, CA – Light rain is expected to move into parts of Southern California early this week, according to the U.S. National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard office.
Forecasters said Monday that San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Ventura, and Los Angeles counties could see scattered showers between Tuesday and Wednesday, with the highest precipitation chances centered on Tuesday afternoon.
According to the Weather Service, rainfall totals are expected to remain below 0.25 inches in most areas, though isolated spots could see heavier showers. A slight chance of thunderstorms exists, particularly near the Ventura and Santa Barbara coasts.
Officials warned that even light rain could bring slick roads and minor rock slides in elevated or fire-scarred terrain. “Stay extra alert on wet roads,” the NWS advised, urging drivers to allow additional travel time and exercise caution during the morning and evening commutes.
Temperatures will remain mild through midweek, with clearing skies likely by Thursday morning as the system moves east. No significant flooding or wind impacts are currently expected.
