Rain

Mostly sunny skies should prevail through Saturday, when clouds will start to build to create a chance of rain and thunderstorms overnight. On Sunday, there will be a 30% chance of rain, according to the National Weather Service, which could spell more trouble for hillsides that reached their saturation point earlier this week when a powerful series of storms soaked the area. Officials have warned that even under sunny conditions, the hillsides remain vulnerable to movement, and advised property owners to be vigilant.

Scattered showers with and thunderstorms that slicked the roadways this week are expected to give way to partly cloudy skies tomorrow as the weather system moves out of Southern California, according to the National Weather Service. Partly cloudy skies are forecast to last through the rest of the week, with temperatures in the mid-60s until this weekend, when highs are expected to reach into the low-70s. Officials said the slow, but steady, rain had not caused any damage in the foothills or to the run-off infrastructure.

An unusually wet December got even wetter Saturday night as another winter storm showered southern California, dropping more than an inch of rain in the foothills. And it's not over yet, with the National Weather Service forecasting a 50% chance of rain Tuesday night and a 70% chance of rain on Wednesday. The most recent storm, which began about 6 p.m. Saturday, continued into the early morning hours on Sunday before it dissipated, giving way to a cool, cloudy day. Flood advisories were in effect in the Station fire burn areas, including La Crescenta, La Cañada Flintridge, Tujunga and Sunland until 3 a.m. Sunday.

A "pesky" storm system starts to move into the region today, bringing with it the likelihood of rain on Thanksgiving, according to the National Weather Service. But fear not Black Friday shoppers, the Southern California sun is expected to reign supreme after Thursday through early next week as Santa Ana winds pick up and start a swift warming trend. The rain storm should clear out overnight Thursday, according to the weather service, allowing daytime temperatures on Friday to rebound into the 70s on Friday, and then into the 80s through the weekend.

LA CRESCENTA — Fears over mudslides subsided early Wednesday after residents awoke to little more than a trickle of water flowing from burned hills. Just over 1.5 inches of rain fell in Glendale and about 2.2 inches filled a gauge positioned in Briggs Terrace since the storm began Tuesday afternoon, bringing little water down the hills, said Bob Gregg, a local water observer for the Los Angeles County Flood Control District. “It wasn’t a big deal,” Gregg said.

A storm barreling in from the Gulf of Alaska is expected to douse Southern California with rain and snow beginning Wednesday, prompting several mountain road closures. Between a quarter and a half-inch of rain could drench the coast and valleys, while the mountains could get as much as an inch, National Weather Service meteorologist Curt Kaplan told the L.A. Times . By Thursday, snow is expected to blanket the mountains as low as 3,500 feet. L.A. County Public Works officials are closing segments of the Angeles Forest Highway and Upper Big Tujunga Canyon Road starting at 10 p.m. Wednesday.

After a balmy Tuesday, weather forecasters have some advice for Southern Californians on Wednesday. "Try to remember the fond memory of yesterday," meteorologist Andrew Rorke told the L.A. Times. A low front was expected to settle in across most of the region Wednesday, bringing not only slightly cooler temperatures but also a chance of rain that should last through the weekend, the National Weather Service said. In the tri-city region, there's a 20% chance of rain on Thursday, but that will increase to 40% on Friday through the weekend, according to the National Weather Service.

Claudia Peschiutta GLENDALE -- The prospect of a rainy weekend cheered at least one local resident Friday. Ethan Street, 5, said he likes the rain. "Because I can do puddle jumps," he explained. Also, wet weather sometimes leads to trips to a Chuck E. Cheese's restaurant. "That's where I spend time when the sky's not good," Ethan said. Lucky for Ethan and anybody else who likes the rain, a storm system was expected to reach the area today.

The chance of rain hitting the tri-city area will build overnight Tuesday, with the heaviest showers likely on Thursday, according to the National Weather Service. Tuesday began with low clouds, fog and drizzle, with conditions expected to intensify after midnight, when a 20% chance of rain is predicted across the region, said weather specialist Stuart Seto with the National Weather Service in Oxnard. The possibility for showers continues Wednesday and Thursday, jumping to a 50% chance Thursday night, Seto told the L.A. Times.

A cold low-pressure system moving south should reach the Los Angeles area Thursday evening, bringing with it the chance of rain and cooler temperatures through Friday night, according to the National Weather Service. The system is expected to bring low-elevation snow to local mountains that could linger through Saturday, Andrew Rorke, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, told the L.A. Times. Snow levels could reach as low as 3,000 feet by Friday morning, which could create hazardous driving conditions, especially around Interstate 5 through the Grapevine, Rorke said.

Cool and breezy conditions are expected to give way to another rainstorm later this week, but forecasters say it should be mostly clear and brisk by New Year's Day and the all-important Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena. Gusty northwest winds were expected for some areas through Thursday morning with most of the region experiencing fair weather Thursday and Friday, said experts with the National Weather Service in Oxnard. Many areas will experience 15- to 25-mph winds, they said, and the Antelope Valley and the mountains should see west to northwest winds of up to 45 mph. A winter weather advisory was issued for Thursday until 10 a.m., with blistery snow showers expected on north facing mountain slopes in Los Angeles and Ventura counties.

Cool and breezy conditions are expected to give way to another rainstorm later this week, but forecasters say it should be back to clear, brisk skies by New Year's Day and the all-important Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena. Gusty northwest winds were expected for some areas through Thursday morning with most of the region experiencing fair weather Thursday and Friday, said experts with the National Weather Service in Oxnard. Many areas will experience 15- to 25-mph winds, they said, and the Antelope Valley and the mountains should see west to northwest winds of up to 45 mph. The high was expected to reach 60 degrees Wednesday in the Los Angeles region with a low of 40. The combination of snow, showers, gusty winds and cold temperatures will produce hazardous winter conditions in the mountains through Wednesday afternoon.

A cold front moving through Ventura and Los Angeles counties brought the overnight showers Monday is expected to linger until late Tuesday morning, after which dry, but cold, period should take hold for much of the week. After the rain moves out, gusty winds are expected across much of the region during the rest of the day. A high-wind warning is in effect for mountain areas in Los Angeles County, which could see gusts up to 65 mph, Rich Thompson, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, told The Times.

What was supposed to be a drier, gustier day across some parts of Southern California - prompting a red-flag fire warning from forecasters - won't be as dry and gusty as anticipated. The National Weather Service has canceled its red-flag warning for the Los Angeles and Ventura county mountains, as well as valley areas in the Santa Clarita region and Ventura County. The warning was expected to expire early Tuesday afternoon, but was canceled by 9 a.m. Monday. The reason, meteorologist Bill Forwood said, is because the weather conditions didn't develop as forecasters expected.

LA CAÑADA FLINTRIDGE - Going into its matchup with Crescenta Valley High as part of pool play in the Ralph Brandt Tournament at Friedman Field, host St. Francis was yet to have a definitive result after tying its first two soccer games of the season, while the Falcons were unbeaten in their first three games. However, both had tied fellow group member North Hollywood in their first games in the Brandt, so Saturday night's winner would take the group and advance. "Playing St. Francis in this atmosphere, our kids love it, they look forward to it every year," Crescenta Valley coach Grant Clark said.

WALNUT - Months of preparation were nearly offset by rain at Saturday morning's CIF Southern Section Cross-Country Divisional Championships at Mt. San Antonio College.
