Low-Pressure System Bringing Cooler Days
The San Fernando Valley missed a chance for rain Sunday, as showers skipped over the area and hit the desert.
A light storm system brought intermittent showers offshore before moving inland, where it skipped the Valley and dropped light rain on the high desert.
Meanwhile, August continues to behave more like June, bringing more clouds and morning fog than usual, a weather expert said. “You might say it’s sort of a payback for the warm, dry days we had in the spring,” said Bruce Rockwell, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Oxnard. A strong high-pressure system, which hovered over the area in the spring, accounted for the warm temperatures, he said.
Now, a low-pressure system hovering over Yuma, Ariz., is drawing cooler ocean air inland. Forecasters expect that for the next five days, temperatures will be in the 90s inland and in the 70s near the beaches.
High temperatures across the Valley will be in the upper 90s today.
