Higher Elevations Face Possibility of Storms
- Share via
Isolated thunderstorms may strike the hills around the San Fernando Valley tonight, weather forecasters said. But they will be limited if they do occur.
“We don’t expect the thunderstorms to go rolling through the Valley,” said Rob Krohn, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Oxnard.
Thunderstorms are more likely in July and August, Krohn said. However, a low-pressure system centered over Yuma, Ariz., is drawing moisture from the Pacific Ocean, he said.
Most areas of the Valley will be too dry to spark such activity, but areas of higher elevation could see storms, he said.
“What they usually do is blow up in the afternoon and last into the evening hours,” Krohn said.
The chance of thunderstorms will end tonight. The rest of the week should settle into a more normal pattern for this time of year, with late night and early morning low clouds and fog that burns off as the day warms.
High temperatures this week will be in the mid- to upper 80s. Today, highs are expected to be 85 in Woodland Hills and 82 in Burbank.
