"After more than a week in which temperatures hovered in the upper 70s to low 80s in downtown Los Angeles, they are supposed to dip into the more normal range starting Tuesday as a low pressure system approaches the region, said Lisa Phillips, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Oxnard. Phillips said highs should be in the low 70s for the valleys and mid-to-upper 60s near the coast by Wednesday, with a chance of light rain Wednesday night into Thursday."
"While temperatures have been higher than normal, it's not unusual to have bouts of warmer weather in January, because dry, offshore winds often blow through the Southland during the month and lift temperatures, Phillips said. That pattern contributed to elevated temperatures and is familiar to many Southern Californians who take the opportunity to soak up the sun on the beach in January when the rest of the country is buried in snow."
A weeklong spell of unseasonably warm weather across Southern California will end as temperatures fall to more seasonal values early this week. Highs are expected to reach the low 70s in valley areas and mid-to-upper 60s along the coast by Wednesday. A low pressure system approaching the region brings a chance of light rain Wednesday night into Thursday. Recent warm readings reached the upper 70s to low 80s in downtown Los Angeles due to episodes of dry, offshore winds that elevate January temperatures. Cooler conditions may be temporary, with warming possible again by next weekend.
