The Southland has a 10% to 20% chance of thunderstorms developing late Saturday and into Sunday, a National Weather Service meteorologist says.
Welcome to summer, SoCal. High temperatures and monsoonal moisture are threatening to make things hot and sticky across the Southland, with a 10% to 20% chance of thunderstorms developing late Saturday and into Sunday, according to Carol Smith, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service. An excessive-heat warning remains in effect for much of the region's inland communities between Santa Barbara and San Diego counties this weekend.
When the valleys get hot, many people make the mistake of thinking the mountains will be cooler and that it’s a good time to go hiking. Not so, Smith said: It can be even hotter up there. If you go, leave the pets at home; dogs struggle mightily in the heat, especially when there is little shade. Also, stick to early mornings or evenings, bring lots of water and wear light-colored clothes. “You really have to take this seriously,” Smith said.
