The first rainfall of the season is expected this weekend, with Saturday likely to be the day the umbrellas will come out.
The Northern California storm system is weakening as it moves into Southern California, and KCAL News meteorologist Alex Biston said “mostly light rain” will move into Los Angeles and Orange County on Saturday afternoon.
According to the National Weather Service, it looks clear Friday night, with a 30% chance of rain around 4 a.m. early Saturday.
After 10 a.m. Saturday, NWS predicts a 60% chance of rain, with less than a tenth of an inch possible. There is a chance of rain again on Saturday night, before 10 p.m
The chance of rain decreases to 20% on Sunday morning. The afternoon is expected to be partly sunny, with another 20% chance of rain after 10 p.m.
A second round of wet weather will follow on Monday. “We are looking at two types of wet weather rounds and the second round could be a little tougher than the first round,” Biston said.
Monday it will be mostly cloudy, with a 40% chance of rain. Thanksgiving week continues with a chance of rain, but things will clear on Thanksgiving Day, with the holiday expected to be mostly sunny, according to NWS.
