Brace yourselves, Southern California, as a shift in weather patterns is on the horizon after a week of sunny and relatively warm conditions. The National Weather Service San Diego office anticipates the arrival of a series of storm systems that will usher in a change in weather starting Sunday and extending into the upcoming week.
While the timing of rainfall remains uncertain, the current forecast suggests the possibility of off-and-on light rain across Orange, San Bernardino, and Riverside Counties as early as Sunday. A more widespread rain event is expected to unfold on Monday or Tuesday, bringing a welcome shift from the dry spell.
The precipitation amounts are a key consideration, and the National Weather Service provides a visual representation through graphics illustrating the probability of exceedance. These graphics encompass total rainfall from Monday to Wednesday, offering insights into the expected range of precipitation levels.
It’s crucial for residents to stay informed and keep an eye out for updates throughout the week and weekend as the forecast evolves. As of now, heavier precipitation appears to favor areas farther north and west, particularly Orange, San Bernardino, and Riverside Counties. Conversely, less precipitation is anticipated in areas farther south and east, encompassing San Diego County.
