Any chance of a mild, dry Southern California weekend appears to have slipped away as a storm system bringing wet weather and cooler temperatures is forecast to land Friday and last through Monday.
For the time being, daytime temperatures should remain in the 60s through Friday, with evening temps in the low 50s.
Late Friday, though, that starts to change as the cold front moves in and brings the possibility of moderate precipitation that evening and heavy rainfall Saturday morning across Los Angeles County, the Inland Empire and Orange County, the National Weather Service reports .
Valley and coastal communities could get anywhere from 1.5 to 2.5 inches of rainfall, with foothill and mountain communities seeing the possibility of 3 to 5 inches.
“I can pretty much assure you that we will see a soggy Easter Sunday,” KTLA Weather Anchor Kaj Goldberg said.
Between Saturday and Sunday nights, there is a 10-20% chance of thunderstorms over the Southland and the potential for blasts of more severe weather, including heavy downpours and small hail, according to NWS .
