Above average temperatures could put Southern California's winter on hold
Will Southern California be a winter wonderland in early December? It depends on your definition of the phrase.
Everywhere in the region aside from the direct coasts will experience unseasonably high temperatures throughout the first week of December, according to the National Weather Service.
Southern Californians woke up to gray skies on Sunday but they weren’t expected to last long, as the sun takes over throughout the day. Predictions show a similar story on Monday and Tuesday before a completely sunny rest of the week.
With the sunshine comes high temperatures for this time of year.
Temperatures are expected to ratchet up by a couple of degrees each day this week, starting with low 70s in most places on Sunday and ending with high 70s or low 80s on Saturday.
Areas like the Inland Empire, San Gabriel Valley and inland Orange County could see temperatures in the 80s by next weekend.
If you’re seeking some cold as the holiday season hits its stride, worry not, because the temperatures will get to a nice, chilly level as the sun goes down in the evening.
No rain is expected in the next week, according to forecasts.
