Don’t worry, Southern California, you’ll be able to take a romantic Valentine’s Day stroll without an umbrella on Friday night.
Friday won’t be completely dry, however, as the National Weather Service notes. Scattered showers, meaning brief and unpredictable bouts of rainfall, are expected to move from north to south throughout the day.
Those in Ventura and Los Angeles counties can expect those scattered showers to end by the late morning, while down south in Riverside, San Bernardino and San Diego counties should be in the clear by the evening hours.
The scattered showers shouldn’t bring more than trace amounts of rain to each community.
As for the weekend, a sunny Saturday will bring what the NWS called “pleasant” conditions. Maximum temperatures can be expected between the mid-60s and low 70s in L.A., Ventura, San Bernardino and Riverside counties.
Early forecasts showed similar conditions in the early and into the middle of next week, though chances for more precipitation look to be taking shape for Thursday.
It’s too early to tell if the rain potentially on the way would be enough to cause more destructive mudslides like parts of L.A. and Orange counties saw this week.
