A strong pattern of precipitation is sweeping across the Southwest, with widespread rain prominently impacting northern parts of Nevada, including Reno and Ely. In the mountains near Cedar City, snow is visible, highlighting the cooler conditions in higher elevations. The storm system is delivering notable rainfall from Salt Lake City down to the metropolitan areas of Las Vegas and Phoenix, creating wet conditions for commuters. Flagstaff is also experiencing scattered showers, while Los Angeles and San Diego remain pleasantly dry with clear skies. The region overall is experiencing a dynamic mix of weather, calling for those in affected areas to take those umbrellas and winter jackets if they plan to be outside!
Tomorrow morning in Los Angeles starts off with temperatures around 56 degrees at 8 AM under cloudy skies. By mid-morning, expect a slight warming to 57 degrees with mostly cloudy conditions. A gentle southeast breeze will remain around 3 miles per hour. As we approach noon, temperatures rise to 60 degrees with winds shifting slightly to the south-southeast at 4 miles per hour.
High temperatures in the Southwest for tomorrow are trending above average under clear skies. In Redding, expect a warm 89 degrees, while San Francisco will be slightly cooler at 77 degrees. Bakersfield is likely to see a high of 84, and Fresno will warm up to 82. Las Vegas will match that at 66 degrees, with Phoenix not far behind at 71 degrees.
For the Southwest tomorrow, anticipate scattered thunderstorms primarily affecting Arizona and parts of New Mexico. These storms could bring isolated heavy rainfall and gusty winds, particularly in the afternoon. A developing system over the Pacific Northwest will usher in cooler temperatures along Nevada and western Utah as fronts slowly advance southeastward. Pay attention to a slight chance of flash flooding in low-lying areas due to the concentrated Downpours.
