Southern California is not known for its weather extremes but this week, residents could see record afternoon highs just days before a cold snap brings a chance of rain this Oscar weekend.
“Looking forward to a warm day (Wednesday) across the Southland … Temperatures today expected to be 10 to 20 degrees above normal, and it’s actually looking like we’ll see warmer weather on Thursday,” KTLA’s Kirk Hawkins said.
The National Weather Service says that temperatures will be several degrees warmer on Thursday “making it the warmest day of the week, as well as the year.” In looking at past highs for the day, the Weather Service said multiple records could be broken.
A big change is in store on Friday as a storm moves in and flips temperatures below normal with low clouds and a chance of drizzle.
The cooler, cloudier weather should stick around the entire weekend and into next week.
“We’ll see a chance of rain becoming more likely throughout the day on your Oscar Sunday,” Kirk said. KTLA’s storm tracker also showed that moisture could remain over the region on Monday.
“While rain is likely, it will not be too much of a rainmaker,” the Weather Service stated while predicting a third of an inch or less from Sunday’s storm.
Forecasters are also keeping their eyes on a “stronger system” that could arrive around the middle of next week.
