Periodic light rain falls throughout Sunday; storms move in overnight (3/30/25)

A series of storms originating from the Pacific Northwest are responsible for this shift towards a cooler, cloudier, and wetter pattern in Southern California. According to National Weather Service meteorologist Mike Wofford, this pattern could persist for 'at least a week — eight or nine days'. While the initial precipitation expected around Sunday, March 30th, is forecast to be light, there remains some uncertainty in weather models regarding rainfall amounts later in the upcoming week. Although heavy rain is deemed 'very unlikely at this time' by the NWS Los Angeles, the possibility isn't entirely ruled out. This extended cool spell contrasts sharply with typical late March/early April temperatures for the area.

How long will this cool and rainy weather last?

Forecasters anticipate this pattern will continue for at least a week, potentially eight or nine days, starting from the weekend of March 29-30, 2025.

Should we expect heavy rain or flooding?

Current forecasts suggest primarily light rain, especially Sunday into Monday. While models show uncertainty for later in the week, heavy rainfall is considered unlikely at this point.

Is this unusual for Southern California?

While Southern California is known for sunshine, periods of cooler, wetter weather, sometimes referred to as 'May Gray' or 'June Gloom,' are not uncommon, though this pattern is arriving a bit early.
