After a stretch of treacherous rains throughout the Los Angeles region and their recent burns of burns, the next few days will bring a necessary respite, with the National Meteorological Service on Saturday that predicts the “climate of very low impact for most of the majority of the areas in the next few days. “
A “heating and drying trend” is predicted during the weekend, and it could be the end of the month before more rain arrives, the weather service reported. Temperatures were expected to rise to the 60s, and perhaps the 70s low in certain areas, the service said.
“We really hope it dries today and tomorrow,” said Kristan Lund, a meteorological service meteorologist, Saturday morning. “Everything aims to be quite dry.”
The best climate follows a wild week, with the largest winter storm that reached southern California on Thursday and packed a serious blow, causing extensive damage and potentially mortal debris flows following the devastating forest fires last month.
The region saw floods of streets and landslides before the storm would decrease on Friday. The damage closed the Pacific coast road, where a member of the Los Angeles Fire Department was dragged from the road to the ocean by a flow of debris before escaping from his vehicle and being transported to a hospital with minor injuries, The authorities said.
The storm gave some in Los Angeles and its surrounding cities a cervical punishment sensation, after an incredibly long dry section last year that prepared the stage for January fires. Scientists say such patterns intensify due to climate change.
The super humid climate followed by an incredibly dry climate can also prepare the scenario for the type of forest fires that crossed the palisades and altadena last month, by first feeding the growth of the vegetation and then drying it in a perfect fuel for fire.
The winds, especially the winds of Santa Ana that conduct hot inner air over coastal areas in southern California, are also an important factor in the fire climate. Lund said the winds could later collect next week, and there could be some strong bursts of the north, but the fire is not in the forecast, a positive side of the recent rains.
“We are really not too worried about the impacts of the fire climate, due to recent rains,” he said.
