Los Angeles County will stay warm, dry and sunny through midweek, with temperatures running 10 to 15 degrees above normal, the National Weather Service said Monday, MyNewsLA reported. A cooling trend is expected to start Thursday, and forecasters see a high likelihood of rain at some point between Thursday and next Tuesday.
What to know
- A coastal flood advisory is in effect through noon Tuesday for LA County coastal areas, including Catalina Island. Tides could reach 7.2 to 7.6 feet, and the flood risk peaks Monday with the surf, according to the weather service via MyNewsLA.
- Shallow flooding, beach erosion and flooding of beach parking lots and bike paths are possible. The weather service said impacts in Long Beach, Malibu, harbor areas and Naples Island should be less severe than in recent events, and tides "will not be nearly as high as the record-breaking tides from two weeks ago."
- In Pasadena, the forecast calls for highs near 83 Monday, 85 Tuesday and 86 on Veterans Day Wednesday, Pasadena Now reported from the weather service forecast.
- Temperatures should fall closer to normal Friday, with widespread highs in the 70s. The most likely rain window now looks like Sunday through Tuesday, Nov. 15 to 17, but timing and amounts are uncertain, MyNewsLA reported.
- The LAFD lifted its red flag parking restrictions at 6 a.m. Sunday. Weak Santa Ana winds may continue at times but should stay below advisory levels, though the Los Angeles Times reported that elevated fire risk would linger into this week.
Our take
This is a good few days for evening walks and outdoor plans, as long as you bring water and some shade. If you live near the beach, steer clear of flooded lots, bike paths and rock jetties through Tuesday. And keep an umbrella handy for the weekend. Are you glad to see some rain on the way, or holding on to the summer weather?
