East L.A., CA – After weeks of dry weather, East L.A. is preparing for the return of rain this weekend, a welcome development in combating wildfire risks across Southern California.
The National Weather Service reports that Friday will remain sunny and warm, with highs near 70°F and light northeast winds. Residents should enjoy the mild conditions, as a significant shift begins Saturday. Rain chances climb to 30% in the morning, steadily increasing to a 90% likelihood by Saturday night.
Sunday is expected to bring widespread rainfall, with temperatures cooling to the mid-50s. Rainfall totals may range between a quarter and half an inch, offering some relief to the region’s parched landscapes. The rain is projected to persist into Monday, with lighter showers expected during the day.
Drivers should exercise caution on local roadways, particularly on I-5 and I-710, as wet conditions could lead to slick surfaces and reduced visibility. Residents are encouraged to secure outdoor furniture, check drainage systems, and plan ahead for any outdoor activities.
While the rain may disrupt weekend plans, it also brings critical moisture to areas at risk for wildfires after an unusually dry start to the year. The brief rainy spell is expected to taper off by Monday evening, with sunshine returning midweek.
