The first significant rainfall of the season is expected to hit Southern California on Saturday, Nov. 2. This will follow a warm, dry Halloween day.
On Saturday, the National Weather Service expects a low-pressure system to move over Southern California, causing some rain across the area beginning in the afternoon through evening hours.
Meteorologists expect around a quarter of an inch of rain in Los Angeles County. In Orange County and the Inland Empire, more rain is expected in mountain areas, and meteorologists predict between a quarter of an inch and half an inch in lower elevation areas.
On Sunday, meteorologists expect scattered showers in the morning, but areas should remain dry.
The rainfall wasn’t expected to have a major impact on a possible World Series game Saturday or celebrations over the weekend.
But the NWS said drivers may see some traffic issues as the first big rainfall of the season could cause slick roads.
Earlier in the week, meteorologists expect mostly clear conditions on Halloween, Thursday, Oct. 31.
High temperatures Thursday are expected around the low 70s in the Inland Empire and the inland areas of Orange County, while coastal cities will have a high in the mid-60s. By the time for trick-or-treating, temperatures will fall to the low to mid-60s.
In Downtown L.A., Halloween temperatures are expected to reach a high of 69 with a low of 58. Highs will reach 71 in the San Fernando Valley with lows around 48, and in coastal L.A. cities, highs are predicted around 68 degrees with lows around 52.
