On KTLA 5 this past Halloween weekend, I chatted about the chilly
air that would soon turn to a VERY DRY HEAT,
and Forecasted 90 for downtown Los Angeles on Tuesday
and it was exactly 90 degrees with the overnight low of 58.
Comfy nights and more hot 90's are in the
forecast over the next 2 days.

OFFICIAL WINTER FORECAST FOR ALL OF THE UNITED STATES INCLUDING SoCal!
Jim agrees with Joe for upcoming WINTER in U.S.
BY THE WAY LA NINA USUALLY BRINGS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA DRIER AND SOMETIMES COOLER WEATHER: BUT……
According to AccuWeather.com Expert Senior Meteorologist and West Coast resident Ken Clark said, “The difference going into this winter, is going to be totally on the opposite side, last year we had a moderate El Nino going through the winter, that drastically changed this spring to a La Nina pattern.”
Clark said that the La Nina will create drier and warmer weather in the Southwest.
With the Southwest, and especially Southern California, expected to be drier than normal, some Southern California residents may be worried about how dry it will really be.
Clark notes that it can be difficult to estimate this far out. He said, “It will depend on whether the La Nina continues to strengthen, which there are some indications that it will be over the next four or five months.”
At this time, Clark is suggesting that precipitation in Southern California could be as much as 10 percent below normal.
“It could be a significant departure that could have large ramifications going into next summer,” he said.
“If we go back into moderate or stronger drought conditions for this winter, we could not only be looking at going back on old [water] restrictions, but increasing restrictions on the amount of water to be used… not only to residents, but also to the extremely important farming community in the San Joaquin Valley.”
