The Southwest region is experiencing a mix of weather conditions. Across northern California, rain showers are making their way into Redding, bringing a welcome drizzle. Meanwhile, in Reno, precipitation is light with rain showers sticking around. Farther south, Las Vegas continues to enjoy dry conditions under mostly clear skies. Moving eastward, Cedar City is seeing some rain, with more clouds pushing into the area. Over in Arizona, Flagstaff is gearing up for a chill, with potential light snowflakes mixing in with the rain showers. Meanwhile, in Phoenix, skies are clearer, with no precipitation expected right now. California’s central coast, including San Francisco, benefits from clearer skies, while light rain continues farther inland around Fresno and Bakersfield. The southernmost areas, including San Diego and Los Angeles, remain mild with largely clear conditions.
In Los Angeles, tomorrow morning starts with partly cloudy skies at 7 AM, with temperatures at 52 degrees and a light easterly breeze around 4 mph. By 9 AM, conditions remain calm, skies transition to mostly cloudy, and temperatures hold steady at 52 degrees. As the morning progresses to 11 AM, expect mostly cloudy conditions with temperatures rising to 56 degrees, accompanied by a gentle southeast wind at 3 mph.
Temperatures across the Southwest are generally above average, with warm air dominating the region, contributing to a pleasant weekend ahead. In Phoenix, expect a warm high of 82 degrees as a ridge of high pressure sets up over the area. Las Vegas will see a noticeably pleasant afternoon with highs reaching 76 degrees, aligning with typical March temperatures. Moving to Southern California, Los Angeles is forecasted to hit 65 degrees, while San Diego will be slightly cooler at 63 degrees. In the Central Valley, Fresno will enjoy a comfortable high of 68 degrees, very much on par with seasonal averages. Further north, San Francisco is projected for a cooler day at 59 degrees, and Redding will see a high of 64 degrees.
“Expect a dynamic start to the day across the Southwest with a powerful low-pressure system moving in. Northern California will see rounds of rain, increasing the chance for localized flooding. The Sierra Nevada faces another bout of snow, which could lead to difficult travel conditions in higher elevations. Farther south, Southern California and parts of Arizona remain dry, but gusty winds are expected, elevating fire danger. Be prepared for a wet and potentially windy 48 hours if you’re north of the Tehachapi Mountains.”
