Whatcha Gonna Do 'Bout That Sunshine?

Southern California continues to experience showers and cool temperatures, but a warming trend is anticipated in the near future.

Get ready, SoCal! Lose the winter blues, cause the weather's 'bout to heat up! After a frosty weekend, meteorologist Ryan Kittell from the National Weather Service's Oxnard office promises a shift in the weatherman.

"If you're over the cold weather, you're gonna looove this week!" said Kittell. "We're definitely transitioning!"

Got a high-pressure system building across the region? Expect it to boot any lingering rain chances by Wednesday and Thursday. Temperatures are gonna skyrocket too, as Kittell predicts highs in the mid-80s to early 90s by the end of the week. That's right, folks, temperatures soaring to summer-like conditions!

The warm-up's gonna be about 5 to 10 degrees above the average for this time of year, a drastic shift from the beginning of the week, where highs hovered several degrees below the norm. So, L.A. County, expect highs in the mid-60s to low 70s Monday and Tuesday. Sick of the rain? Well, after the soggy and chilly weekend, you might still experience a few sprinkles, but don't expect anything too heavy.

In the region's higher elevations, like the mountains, rainfall amounts were slightly higher, and in some areas, it even changed to snow. Remnant rainfall on Monday and Tuesday is kinda expected, but Kittell warns it'll be minimal.

Now, if you're into a bit more on the news front, here's some juicy tidbits for ya:

  • An unforeseen Hepatitis A outbreak has been declared in L.A. County. Catch up on the deets to stay in the know!
  • Top officers from the LAFD's union have been suspended following an audit flagging hefty credit card spending.
  • And a driver involved in a crash that took young Braun Levi's life was driving with a suspended license, according to recent records. Heavy stuff, huh?
