Showers and thunderstorms were expected across Southern California on Saturday, possibly threatening fire-ravaged hillsides.
Forecasters said an upper level low-pressure system off the coast of Baja California would move east through the day and into Arizona by Sunday, wrapping instability and more moisture around a low-pressure system that was already bringing a heavy marine layer.
The storms also have the potential to produce abrupt and erratic wind, with gusts between 30 and 40 mph, forecasters said. But Saturday, most of the region, from coasts to valleys, was wrapped in a soft marine layer with light rain, according to the NWS. The total rainfall expected across Los Angeles County is between 0.10 and 0.70 inch and less than 0.25 inch in Ventura County, with up to an inch of rain possible in the L.A. County mountains and near thunderstorms.
With its Mediterranean climate, the state usually gets 75% of its annual rainfall between November and March.
