Josh Rubenstein's Weather Forecast (Sept. 5)
STUDIO CITY (CBSLA.com) — We are watching a large moisture plume move into Southern California.
This is mostly mid-level moisture and will encourage more cloud cover today. The cloudy skies will help to cool things down a few degrees. However the moisture moving in combined with some lift in the atmosphere will encourage the possibility of scattered showers and thunderstorms today.
The doppler radar indicates some light rain to the Southwest moving in a Northwesterly direction...some of this is not going to make it to the ground because the lower levels of the atmosphere are so dry...but we will be on the look out for wet weather.
The other concern with this activity is thunderstorm action. This will increase fire danger as a passing storm could ignite dry lightning and a storm's outflow boundary could then produce gusty winds. We still have the threat of a passing shower or thunderstorm tomorrow before the atmosphere settles down a bit. It look like there might be one more wave of energy on Saturday...but we can expect some warmer temperatures Friday and Saturday.
