Prepare your Easter fashions accordingly, because it will be a very wet holiday weekend.


What You Need To Know

  • Widespread rain moves in Saturday and Sunday
  • Temperatures will drop to below the seasonal average
  • Gusty winds are likely each afternoon

  • Mountain travel this weekend is not advised 

 
Following a comfortable full last week of March, the weather shakes up this weekend as a late-season storm moves south into SoCal.
 
 
 
A closed low off of the central coast of California will produce widespread rain as early as late Friday night, with the rain continuing into Sunday.

It will not be a good weekend for the beach, a hike, or even a delightful egg hunt. Plan those Easter Weekend plans accordingly in order to avoid the rain and potential thunderstorms.
 
 
 
 
 
The rain will be heavy at times and more homogeneous Saturday before it becomes more showery in nature Sunday as the low inches closer towards the southern part of the state. 
 
 

 

The instability associated with this storm will be a bit higher than the last few, which could lead to thunderstorm development Sunday into Monday. Gusty winds, lightning and hail are all possible as we wrap up the weekend.

 

Snow levels will start out high this weekend (6000') before falling to around 4500' Sunday. Mountain travel is not advised this weekend as some roads will be slick and dangerous to pass. 

 

The other noticeable component to this Easter weekend storm is the much cooler air that will arrive with the rain. Temperatures will swing about 10 to 15 degrees from where they were during the middle of the week.

High temperatures Saturday will plummet to the low 50s. Sunday will still be much cooler than average, with high temperatures remaining nearly 15 degrees below the seasonal normals.
