Los Angeles and Ventura counties are set to receive light April showers, with a 50% chance of rain on Thursday afternoon. The National Weather Service forecasts minimal rainfall, around a quarter of an inch, which is not expected to pose a landslide threat following earlier fires. After the rain, temperatures will rise into the mid-70s and low-80s over the weekend. Additionally, California's snowpack has reached 96% of average, indicating promising water supplies for the third consecutive year, a notable occurrence for the state.
Spotty showers began falling Wednesday afternoon in eastern parts of Ventura County, and there's a 50% chance of more rain Thursday afternoon in the valleys and mountains of Los Angeles County, according to National Weather Service meteorologist Bryan Lewis.
The rainfall will be light, with no more than about a quarter of an inch expected to fall Thursday, Lewis said.
Lewis predicted the storm clouds will dissipate Saturday to make way for a "good, dry warming trend," with temperatures climbing to the mid 70s and low 80s in the valleys.
The near-average snowpack means the state is expected to record a third straight year of ample water supplies in the mountains - something that hasn't happened in a quarter of a century.
