Below-Freezing Temps To Return Thursday Night In Calabasas: NWS

CALABASAS, CA — The cold isn't going away just yet: Forecasters are expecting yet another frigid night in Calabasas Thursday as the National Weather Service warns that temperatures should drop to as low as 31 degrees in the city.

A Frost Advisory is in effect from midnight to 9 a.m. Friday when forecasters expect below-freezing temperatures to result in frost formation.

The advisory covers Calabasas, Agoura Hills, Westlake Village, Thousand Oaks, and the west San Fernando Valley.

Lows are expected to be even lower in the coldest valleys of the Santa Monica Mountains, hitting the upper 20s, according to the NWS.

The advisory follows several others issued this week, as temperatures have dropped below freezing in Los Angeles County valleys and deserts. On Tuesday morning, the NWS recorded lows in the mid-20s in the Antelope Valley and the low to upper 30s in the San Fernando Valley.

Low overnight temps are just one piece of intense weather that's been battering the Southland this week. Frigid conditions, combined with King Tides and hurricane-force winds prompted a series of weather warnings Wednesday and Thursday.

Winds hit 77 mph on Catalina Island Thursday morning, while the Santa Monica Mountains saw 59 mph winds. The maximum wind speeds hit 50 mph in the San Fernando Valley, 57 mph in the Santa Clarita Valley, 39 mph at Malibu's Leo Carillo State Beach, 46 mph at LAX and 47 mph in the Calabasas and Agoura Hills area, according to the NWS.

The winds are expected to calm significantly Thursday night into Friday. Temperatures will drop to the low 40s around downtown Los Angeles and the mid to upper 30s in the San Gabriel Valley, according to the NWS.

Friday is expected to be sunny with highs in the low 60s, with slightly warmer temperatures overnight compared to the night before, according to the NWS.

Forecasters say that the frost expected early Friday morning can damage sensitive plants and harm pets if left unprotected.
