Southern California’s weather is set to deliver a mix of rain, gusty winds, and sunshine this week, according to the National Weather Service. Light showers could touch the High Desert and San Bernardino Mountains Monday, expanding southward into Orange County and the Inland Empire by Tuesday evening. Rainfall totals are expected to be modest, under 0.25 inches in most areas, with snow levels remaining above 9,000 feet.
Breezy conditions will accompany the system, with gusts of 25-40 mph in the mountains and deserts. Thanksgiving promises dry, warmer weather with brief offshore winds. However, uncertainty looms for the weekend as an approaching upper-level low could bring additional rain. Confidence in the weekend forecast remains low, with rain chances ranging from 20-30%.
