"While elevated fire weather conditions will persist into Wednesday night, the threat of the critical fire weather conditions has ended, and that's really due to the winds decreasing," said weather service meteorologist Kristan Lund.
Humidity levels are expected to rebound to the 20%-to-30% range Thursday after a dangerously dry start to the week, Lund said.
A low-pressure system will sweep into the region Thursday, bringing with it a 20% chance of afternoon rain, with the greatest chance of scattered showers in the foothills of the San Gabriel Valley and the Santa Monica Mountains.
More substantial precipitation is expected farther north, with heavy showers forecast for San Luis Obispo County and Northern California set to receive 1 to 2 inches of rainfall and heavy snow above 5,000 feet.
