Monday

The week began with fog and an increase in the cloud cover across LA County, although parts of the day were sunny.

According to Moody, an area of low pressure coming through the Southern California region will create cooler days through midweek.

Tuesday forecast

Moody said it’ll be a gray start to the day across the county and light showers are possible. Low and high temps will be cooler, in the 60s and 70s.

There could be a stray shower or two in Ventura County in the morning and by late Tuesday afternoon, there’s a chance for more widespread precipitation.

“I think this is going to come in pretty scattered, but we’ll continue to see as more rain heads in our direction into Tuesday night, giving areas in Orange County and the Inland Empire a better chance at some of this rain,” Moody explained.

Moody said the chance of rain Tuesday will bring minimal accumulation in most areas, under a half an inch of rain.

The light showers are most likely later Tuesday and overnight, but should wrap up by early Wednesday, before more Angelenos hit the road for their morning commute.

In Riverside, there’s a 40% chance of rain on Tuesday during the later part of day, 10 percent on Wednesday, and 20 percent on Thursday.

In Big Bear Valley, some rain is also possible on Tuesday, which marks the start of “Pip Watch” at the famous nest of beloved bald eagles Jackie and Shadow.

Wednesday forecast

By Wednesday morning, those light showers should dry out quickly.

“It wraps up fast,” Moody explained, adding that there might be a leftover shower or two during the day in parts of the county.

By Wednesday afternoon, the chances of rain will be gone.

Thursday forecast

With the light rain a thing of the past, the temps will increase slightly Thursday.

Friday forecast

Expect warmer temps all around across LA County on Friday. Moody said the cloud cover will also disappear, making way for a warm and dry Easter weekend.

Saturday and Sunday forecast

Spring temps will warm up quite a bit again by Saturday and Sunday, with highs in the 80s and even 90s in some parts of the region.

Moody said it’ll be warm and sunny for Easter, and maybe even

Warm-up again by Saturday and Sunday, 80s to even 90s, warm and sunny for Easter.
