Southern California will see a mix of lingering showers, mountain snow and strong winds Saturday before conditions clear and warm heading into Thanksgiving week, according to KTLA’s Kacey Montoya.
Light rain and pockets of snow continued moving through the mountains early Saturday, with scattered showers still possible in the Inland Empire and desert areas through the morning.
Heavier rain pushed through Perris a few hours earlier, but the region is expected to gradually dry out by afternoon. Air quality remains in the “good” range for all areas.
The strongest issue Saturday will be high winds, Montoya said, with powerful gusts hitting the San Bernardino County mountains, Santa Clarita Valley, Ventura County, the Santa Monica Mountains and the Malibu coast.
A Wind Advisory was in effect until 2 p.m. for portions of L.A. and Ventura counties. Montoya warned that strong winds combined with saturated ground could bring down trees, urging residents to use caution outdoors.
For the rest of the weekend and into Thanksgiving, most inland valleys and the L.A. Basin are expected to see partly cloudy skies with highs generally in the upper 60s to mid-70s, warming into the 70s by early next week. Mountain communities will stay cooler, in the 50s with breezy conditions and a chance for up to an inch of additional snow above 7,000 feet, while coastal areas hold near seasonal norms with mild, dry weather.
Dry, sunny conditions are expected across Southern California beginning Sunday and lasting through the Thanksgiving holiday.
