Rain, Cool Temperatures Headed To Sherman Oaks

SHERMAN OAKS, CA —After a warm week, rain and cooler temperatures are headed to Sherman Oaks.

Cooler temperatures will set in Sunday, and rain is expected to start late Sunday night. The National Weather Service expects between 1 to 3 inches of rain in the coastal areas, and up to 3 inches in the foothill areas.

Dense fog is expected Monday morning, and temperatures in Sherman Oaks are expected to fall to a high of 62 degrees. Winds are expected to pick up, and motorists are advised to exercise caution.

The NWS predicts rain before 11 a..m., showers between 11 and 2 p.m., and possibly thunderstorms after 2 p.m.

Stormy conditions are expected to clear out by late Tuesday, with temperatures again climbing by 5 to 10 degrees, according to the NWS.

The snow level in the mountains will fall to about 6,000 feet by Monday, "with possible significant amounts above 7,000 feet," forecasters said.

The rain comes as welcome news following a bone dry first few months of the year, and the state imposed new water cuts. Unfortunately, no rain is predicted next week, though seasonally appropriate temperatures in the mid-60s are expected.
