Los Angeles, California – A drier and more stable weather pattern is expected across Southern California during the January 10–14 period, keeping rain chances below normal and limiting the risk for any widespread weather-related impacts.
According to the National Weather Service Climate Prediction Center, Southern California is favored to see below-normal precipitation during the 6–10 day window, while temperatures trend near to slightly above seasonal averages. That setup points to a reduced Pacific storm track and extended dry stretches across the region.
From the Los Angeles and Orange County metro areas to the Inland Empire and San Diego County, conditions are expected to remain largely dry, with only isolated light showers possible at times. No significant rainfall is currently indicated, and mountain snow chances remain minimal, with snow levels staying well above major pass elevations. Desert communities across Riverside, San Bernardino, and Imperial counties are also expected to stay dry.
Travel impacts are expected to be minimal, with dry roads likely for most of the period. Patchy morning fog may develop in coastal and valley locations, particularly during overnight and early morning hours, but widespread visibility or roadway issues are not anticipated.
Overall, the pattern supports below-average rainfall and quiet weather across Southern California. While short-term changes remain possible, no rain alerts or storm advisories are currently expected as the January 10–14 timeframe approaches.
